[QUOTE="hugheserj, post: 1624762, member: 107759"] Hi all, First time poster here. I've been handloading for quite a few years now and recently bought a Sako 85 finnlight 300wm for hunting red deer and tahr here in New Zealand out to 750m. I've been working on loads for a while and after not having much luck with 180gr accubonds I've moved to 175gr Federal Edge projectiles in Norma brass with AR2217 powder which I think is equivalent to H1000 in the USA. Right now I have 0.5MOA or less shooting at 2930 fps but once I increase powder/velocity group size grows quite quickly. I was hoping to get tight groups at 3100+fps. Should I be satisfied with what I'm getting or keep searching for something better?? [/QUOTE]
