[QUOTE="DAVETOOLEY, post: 643629, member: 46733"] Yea that's me on the Hide. I've been around awhile but if you knew guys in the 60's your about a decade older than I am. You can't compare the 60's to what we are doing today. Light years ahead in the knowledge department. Don't know what your background is but I started in short range benchrest then moved on to 1k BR in '95. Been smithing since '83. Spent the last few years developing LR sniper rifle systems and developing some of these rounds. I was the first person to have 300 Norma cases in the country. What's your background? My guess is High Power. 900 rounds 3/4MOA I think is very realistic since I would expect it to start out shooting much better than that. I want to say I shoot charges in the low 80's. I haven't done much more tha testing here lately. I know of a few people that have run the 300 Norma or a round very similar and say they have gotten 1200 rounds out of it before it really fell off. Maybe, maybe not but I've seen 300WN mags shooting 1/2MOA 10 shot groups the other side of 2500 rounds. 30's just seem to be more forgiving and seem to just fade away instead of falling on their face.
