[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 413732, member: 7999"] The only thing that I will add to this is that 100yrds does not always show the accuracy potential of a load. My hunting rifle shoots the same group at 100 as it does at 200, and almost holds the same group at 300. I think there are a lot of loads thrown out because they do not look good at 100yrds. When in fact they were very good loads. I still shoot at 100yrds, but not necessarily for group. I run through the chrono, and watch the target. If the load is big at 100 then I don't bother. But if it is close to 1" then I will try it at 200yrds before discarding it. Good luck, Steve [/QUOTE]
