[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 5283, member: 22"] Sheldon, I agree with you on true VLD bullets but this 300gr bullet at 100yds will group beleive me. I don't do a lot of testing at 100yds with my bench guns, but when I do, I've produced some amazing groups and I've got 2 other buddies shooting competitively with 338 Yogis also they say the same thing about grouping at 100yds. We've fired many groups (5 shots) in the 2's and I've had a couple in the 1s when you get it tuned up properly. But to get a load fully tuned up for 1000yd + work, you will need to test at longer ranges regardless of whether your 100yd groups are good or not. IMO.... 100yds will tell what what doesn't work but won't tell what does work at long range. SR90, What powder are you using for these groups?
