First let me state that I'm not new to reloading. But after shooting several hundred loads I'm seeking advice from the experts here on the best way to work up to the most accurate load a persons rifle is capable of shooting. Do you work up the powder in 1 or 2 tenths of a grain until you get...

Also that was at 100 yards.

That's my plan. As soon as I get off work I'm headed home to load a few of these rounds then it's off to the river bottoms, Hopefully for some yotes. Thanks for your help. Dave

Played with the powder a little more. This last group was with 34.9grs. of 4895. If I measured right it's .221. Should I leave well enough alone or play with the seating lenght now. It's still at 2.350 now

I would also add that the Bore has been looked at with a bore scope and other that a real slight carbon ring it appeared to be in excellant shape. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

The gun has had 875 rounds through it. It has a 25 inch heavy barrel. As far as COL I was going by the hornady edition 8 manual and max powder was 35.4gr of 4895. I tried to post a pic of the target here, didn't work. I will try again[A.TTACH][/ATTACH]22312

I'm shooting a md 77 mark II 22-250 with a 8.5x25x50 30mm VX3. Bullets loaded are the 50 gr Z-MAX. Powder used was 4895. Started with 35gr and went forward .2 at a time to 35.4 and backwards to 34.8. Best group was with 34.8. C.O.L is as stated in the book at 2.350. Now to try and shrink the...

I found that IMR-7828 79.0 MAX...Fed Brass .0015 shoulder bump and 215 GM... worked very well for me in one of my 7STW Accumarks. At 200yrds. the 3 shot groups were avg. @ 277. Great velocity (3300+) and fantastic grouping. Actually shot tight groups on rocks out to 1200 in the Acrtic with that...

Guy's, anyone have any good load data for the 160 grain flat based TSX Barnes bullets, or want to share their experience with shooting them in their STWs. I have been trying the 162 A-Maxs. Best groups so far have been 77.6 grains of H-1000. Someone told me that shooting 140s would be a lot...

First post. I have a Rem 700 BDL DM stainless with factory muzzle break. Love it. Bought it off guns international about 3 months ago. Still experimenting with loads. Tried RL19 and H-1000 with 162 gr A-Max. Seems to like the H-1000 better. Lots of great info in this forum.
