Yes- been following this over on the small bore forum. Couple guys have the rifle, and others trying the ammo out in their standard HMRs.

I just chronographed my Marlin 21" bl. the other day.
20gr. WW brand ammo with HP's averaged 2,509fps instead of listed 2,375fps, while the Hornady brand ammo with 17gr. Vmax averaged 2,621fps instead of 2,550fps.

This was standard ammo, not the higher velocity stuff advertised for the Semi-auto. I'd like to find some of that ammo up here, but it will be like Frog's hair and Hen's teeth- for a while, at lease.

Prices on the new ammo is running $52.00 to $65.00 per box of 200.

Windy, wasn't it.
