[QUOTE="trappers son, post: 1137532, member: 48330"] I went to the range today and spent more time setting up then shooting.... I used reloder 33 with the 195's 15 thousandths off the lands and found my top end load a little sooner than I thought that I would. I was hesitant with the high charges from the quickload data I got. They looked similar to a load for a 7stw so I started 10 percent lower at 72 grains and went up a grain at a time. I went to 78 grains but I only had to shoot to 73 grains before I reached my top end load. It shot very well. I had velocities of 2972,2977, and 2972. I shot prone off a bipod and rigged up my chrony on my tripod so it was only a few inches off the ground. I shot at my target at 200 yards and the bullets grouped well. two bullets were almost touching and the other was off a bit more but well within an inch. I pulled it so I am not sure of its real potential. I will have to pull the bullets on the rest of my cartridges but that's ok. It is definitely not a summer load and hotter than I like but it grouped so well and the es was so good that it will be hard to not shoot it hot. I will have to do more tests to verify the load and test some at lower grains, but I was happy with it. It shoots faster than my accuracy node with the 180 hybrids so if it proves consistent, than I will be happy during the winter. German weatherby mark v action timney trigger 3lbs 7mm weatherby rogue 91 grn cap .2 throat cut for 180 hybrids custom cut and turned 28 inch barrel on a Pratt from Dan Pedersen-classic barrel 8.7 twist 1.3 diameter 4in shank bull sporter .8in muzzle 60 degrees 2600 elevation [/QUOTE]
