[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 939524, member: 50867"] Billy, just a few opinions. 1. I think your load is too extreme. In your place I'd see if I couldn't find something more moderate. Try running the OCW routine ([URL="http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com/#/ocw-test-example/4529811475"]OCW Overview - Dan Newberry's OCW Load Development System[/URL]) to help you find the sweet spot. 2. Faster is not always better. Even if you're MV got down to 2800 FPS you should still be super-sonic beyond 1000 yards. 3. You don't say how much you turn the necks and what the neck tension figures out to but I'd suggest you consider a neck tension of <.002 with chamber neck clearance somewhere near the same. 4. Practice reading the wind. At longer ranges it's the wind that will have the greatest influence on your accuracy. Good hunting .......... gun) [/QUOTE]
