[QUOTE="M67, post: 873429, member: 26259"] Let me point out that i have noe accuracy issues inside about 600m, or even 900m. I am questioning the 1000m performance. My reloading is probably like anyone elses, i do some testing (not much, having burned some barrels over the years, i tend to find what i want) to find a load that is "good enough", generally that would be <1/2" at 100m, but preferably better. Since i compete at 500m matches, 10 shots @ 500m is the acid test. I also compete in "feltskyting" that might take it to 600m or so, and from field positions. A 500m target might look like this, [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c137/Ken1931/897073E1-1D61-478B-B446-5B5B290A5711-13933-0000181B4A6CDDC4_zps2ec2bfc6.jpg[/IMG] The point beiing, shooting such a group with my 7mm WSM or the 338LM or the 139 Scenar in 6.5x55 generally would make me excpect a group somewhat twice the size at 1000m, given that i feel i was in control regarding wind. But, shooting the 136 (this is a 136gr Scenar group) at 1km vs 500m, increases the group size about 10-fold. I do not believe anything in my reloading can make bullets group very well at 500, just to fall completely apart at 1000, both height and sideways. K [/QUOTE]
