Suppose it will boil down to group size.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

G'day JimTom,
Yes, 4th Edition 2004, ADI want to promote Benchmark for lighter projectiles as it offers better performance, and simply drop some data as they find better alternatives. I keep old manuals for this reason, and also because I'm a bit of a bower bird! Cheers

Haha yeah makes good sense mate. I remember I was looking for a .223 load 55gr projectiles using BM1 but was no longer listed. Fortunately my Dad is like you and I got one from a much earlier edition of the ADI data.

l did a test shoot with the 110gr vmax bullets and BM2 showing pretty good results
it will be a good load for young kids to shoot 308's with little recoil
3 shot groups for the featherweight, barrel is way to skinny for any more, the right group is 2 clicks over from the left group
