[QUOTE="cmillett79, post: 309245, member: 12148"] Thanks for the info people.....I figured they would at least hit close to the same POI , but most of you say your getting the same POI in different rifles is just what I wanted to hear... Thanks By the way heres the load I worked up in my M70 classic ss 300 win mag. 26" barrel. 180 gr Nosler BTs Neck sized Fed. brass H 4350 Fed LR primers 69grs H 4350 same hole 2 shot group @ 112yds 3003fps 70grs H 4350 .5" 2 shot group & .65" 3 shot group @ 112yds 3052fps Since the groups were looking to open up with powder increase, I decided to go with 69.5grs of H 4350..I would have stayed with 69grs but it was 78* degrees this day .. I figured .5gr more would compensate for the colder weather that is comming .. I 1st started with Fed match LRM primers , but groups opened up BIG time after 67grs .. 67grs produced 2952fps and a .5" 2 shot group...I figure if I went to a less hot primer , I may be able to increase the powder charge to burn more down the 26" tube..Well it worked ;) I was really wanting to hit 3100fps ( which Im sure I could with the same load ) , but it was near 80* and the groups were opening up as the pwder charge increased..Im sure I wouldnt have a prob in less than 60* weather with 70.5-71grs..MAde up my 69.6gr loads and shot my 250yd target for a shot a 2"group....Moved the target down to 350yds and shot a respectfull 4" group...The load would do better but it was me and also dealing with the wind..I developed this load with the hopes of the accubond to hit same POI as the ballistic tips for a 400-500yd elk/deer combo..Looks like I have just what I wanted.
