    Yep! And I've been nothing but impressed with the quality.

    I haven't dabbled in reloading yet but I have a feeling that when I do, I'll be stacking hits at the same distance.
    You better believe it. On the reloading thing the price goes WAY down when you reload. I am able to reload 69gr SMK and get better results than the Winchester ammo for right about .33 cents a round.

    When I got my rifle I tested a mix of different store bought ammo... I got a bunch of different kinds of 55, some 60, some 62, some 64, some 68, and some 69s. The rifle liked the 69s a lot. At that point I had a shooting test between winchester and federal match... with the slight edge to Winchester. After I got that established I took about a month (considering really bad weather) and developed a load of 24.3 grains of varget with 69 gr SMK... it's been doing really good for me.

    I shot a 10 shot group that was about dime size @ 100 yards and I was also able to take it out to 700 yards and plink on an 18" steel plate. For a relatively small time investment that for me is a tradeoff between watching tv or reloading, I can save quite a bit by reloading.

    What's your barrel length? I have been nothing but impressed with my RA barrel.

    I have been somewhat intrigued by the ultra match barrels, so any report I can get... LOL...

    It's an 18" Ultramatch barrel with a Rainier Arms compensator. I may do a write up on the build if I find the time for it in the near future.

    Shot with a Rainier Arms Ultramatch .223 Wylde at 100yd. It groups around 0.4 in at that range with match ammo.
    Sure it counts, and thank goodness it wasn't a silver quarter. That would be wasteful.

    No, it doesn't. The whole point of the exercise is assessing consistency. A single shot does not consistency make.
