[QUOTE="rinodods, post: 396345, member: 12216"] It has a 26" Shilen select match barrel fitted with a Vais brake. Groups look pretty good. Last time out on paper it was under 0.5" but that was in 20mph gusty winds with a target that rocked about 6" front to back. I think it will do better. I meant to put it on paper again during the pdog shoot but couldn't pull myself away from launching at the pdogs. I've just started seating the 178's like 0.002 off the lands and had what looks like a good load. I figured your load would be moving a little faster with the extra 4grs. Might be worth backing it off a bit and seeing what you get. Might be wasting a few grains for very little to no benefit. I haven't shot it much over 300yrds but was still hitting pdogs. Next time I'm out I plan on setting up to get some shots at least out to 500 and see how I do. I'm connecting with my 260rem out that far so we'll see if I can match it with the 300wm. [/QUOTE]
