[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 654853, member: 33915"] Thanks Greyfox!! Sounds like the SST might be closer to the Berger than appearance would suggest. Don't quote me too soon but I think I've got the 165 Matrix stabilized OK in my 270 Winchester 10 twist 24" barrel (Remington model 700). So if you haven't worked with it you might give it a try. I'm getting just over 2800 fps with 61gn of Magpro. So it may not be a 700 yrd load but were just looking shoot no farther than 500 yrds. Anyway, The first three shot group with that load looked good. Got to do more testing but looks very promising so far. Did a 3 shot group and knocked my difuser off the Chrony with the first shot but the next 2 bullets were touching at 100yrds. With my Winchester Model 70, 270 WSM I'm getting just above 2900 FPS with my 10 twist 24" barrel at about 1 1/8" group at 100 yrds with 67gn Magpro. But these are my first tests with these powder loads so I'm pretty sure I can tweek the accuracy and probably velocity as well in the WSM. Terry [/QUOTE]
