[QUOTE="deweyduck, post: 1432062, member: 69421"] Mudrunner I have thouroughly enjoyed this topic and you evidently have the same gun as I. Mine is an off the shelf Win 70, sporter 24" barrel, 1:9.25" twist, but I have free floated it and bedded the action. I handload the 168's with 63.4grs of H4813SC with no case issues and the book shows 2904 fps. I use a Leupold VXI, 3-10 X 50MM. My best group was .58" at 200 yards and I dropped a little buck at 390 yads through the heart with one shot; I was zeroed at 300 yards and I had calculated a 9" drop at 400 and held over right on the back bone. But I can expand my yardage easily to 600 this year and want to know a maximum load and powder brand I could use to reduce my bullet drop somewhat. I'm a novice shooter but have really worked hard this past summer to get the best bullet and load I can. I'm 80 years old and don't have too much time left to shoot "one for the ages" this year. I'm teaching my grandsons to think longer range shooting since the average deer kill in Georgia is 17 yards; my personal best 10 pointer out of at least a hundred deer was a whopping 10 yards. Got a bunch at 285 yares with the old (Siricco?). [/QUOTE]
