[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 77269, member: 5"] [b]Re: 200 grain Wildcat\'s at 100 yards - next step[/b] Dave Wilson: Yup - 1-10. I couldn't tell any difference after using the WC872 than say Ramshot Magnum that I use with the 169.5 Wildcats. I do think it was a little dirtier with the lower loads when I first started out with the ladder test but these are all up towards the case max + compressed and they didn't seem any different that any others. It's still a 6 patch gun with Coppermelt!!! As far as the barrel temp. At first I thought it was a little cooler with the 872 but I kind of got into a rythm shooting the groups and I always allow a certain amount of time for the barrel to cool. It was never more than mildly warm and the temp was 75 degrees. Velocity loss with a 7??? I couldn't tell you and I'll never find out because unless I re-barrel this gun at the same length I'll never know. It's not a loss I'm concerned with. [/QUOTE]
