[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 160639, member: 3756"] For my 300 RUM I got different components loaded 27 rounds using 9 different loads from 89 gr. of Retumbo to 95 gr. of Retumbo. 210 gr. Berger. Powder and bullets I did not change. I did change brass to Nosler brass, Primes to CCI-250 instead of fereral. I seated the bullet 0.015 into the lands. First time ever the action screws had been torqued using a torque wrench, also I used a cheek piece on the stock which does help a whole lot. All 27 bulles in 9 "3 shots" groups shot at [B]302 yards[/B] averaged 0.667 MOA's which is 2.11" at 302 yards. Not so good... Well is a factory 300 RUM... is the same as saying 0.7" @ 100 yards... remember, that's an average of 9 different charges. The smallest group was 89 gr. @2924 ft/sec which grouped 1.2" at 302 yds. = 0.397" @ 100 yards. Because I'm quite low on muzzle velocity this is what I decided: [IMG]http://i16.tinypic.com/67zl9qd.jpg[/IMG] Please notice that the 1.5" group line touches the graph in two different places, at 90.9 gr. and at 91.7 gr.
