[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 461558, member: 29281"] It would appear to me that your load work-up emphasizes different bullets and distance off the lands. What you really should do is stick with one bullet and seat said bullet as close to the lands as possible while still getting good feeding through the magazine. Load a series of cartridges with incrementally increasing powder charges. I usually load 3 cartridges with each load but if you want to do 5, then more power to you. Once you've found a powder charge that seems to give the best group, you can play around with distance off the lands or bullet type. If accuracy isn't satisfactory, then do a similar workup with a different powder. The 162 gr. A-Max with its BC of 0.625 is an excellent long range bullet choice. My 7mm Rem. Mag. load with that bullet and with Barnes 140 gr. XLC bullets utilizes RL-22 over Federal 210M primers (not magnum primers). I get very good accuracy with that combination. [/QUOTE]
