Aug 19, 2011 #7 S SJB358 Ballistician Dec 24, 2006 32,101 2,434 Thanks Jake. RL19 is a big time favorite of mine with the 338WM, so maybe I will goof with them when I can pick up some 2nds. They seem like they would work pretty well. Plus, they have a decent BC so they should fly pretty flat. Scotty
