[QUOTE="Guest, post: 127856"] As folks are saying, the Browning is more than capable to shoot 600-700 yards, but the trick being to co-ordinate tuning the BOSS with your loads. I have put MANY bullets down the barrel of my 300 Winchester Magnum S/S to try to find the secret behind it. When I talked with Browning they told me that adjusting the BOSS is a slow process where a 1/4 turn change can send you past the sweet spot and open your groups back up as much as an inch. Building the sweetspot charts is an exhaustive process where they increment the BOSS by a single sitting, per group. Their advise was to select the setting of a round that was closest to what I wanted to shoot, and use that as a starting point. After putting more than 500 rounds through mine "chasing my tail" that turned out to be the best advise. Mine now shoots 1/2 MOA and that's good enough for this rifle. BTW I also used QUICKLOAD to help determine the correct powder/bullet combo to use. JK [/QUOTE]
