hey guys just wanted to share a video of my new sps tactical with the 16.5" barrel. on this day i was out load testing and getting velocities for the loads. i am going to use this for up to 700 yards and in plinking. i chose to use the very easy to find Hornady 50gr. V max bullets and a common powder that is also pretty easy to get (Hodgdon Benchmark powder) and set up a great load that gets both the highest velocity the short barrel will allow and best accuracy to get the accuracy cone as tight as possible. this video i was just using up old 68 and 69 grain ammo that shot about 3 moa groups. (link to load test video http://youtu.be/4Ub4cC_tuGg )
and the 550 yard 5 shot at an old propane tank http://youtu.be/CqlQMgw_OJ0
the optic i'm using is the ar optics (bushnell) 4.5-18x40 scope. this scope needs to be mounted high because the ocular bell is massive. Hope you all enjoy this video thanks for watching.

Wow. Cool videos and rifle! Good shooting! I really need to get a bolt gun in .223 REM. My .30-06 pushes me around a bit.
