[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1750056, member: 52585"] H1k and the 215 Berger is an excellent starting point. You're going to need to get that ES way way down to really have fun at half the range you're aspiring to. IMHO, it all starts with a great foundation. That would be the best brass you can buy I don't think it's Gunwerks is it. I believe it's made by Hornady. IF you can find RWS it is as good as it gets but made from un-obtanium. Next would be Norma, ADG or Nosler IMO. You didn't say but I'm guessing your .4 MOA group is at 100 yards. You really need to move out to 300 minimum for testing as it will give you more info. If available, 500 would be better. What you're looking for is vertical dispersion from that 43 ES and it doesn't show up at 100. I just started loading a custom 30 nosler with H1k and the 215s, I'm at 20 fps avg. for 15 rounds on new ADG brass and I'm hoping to drop it below 15. Single digets would be great but I don't know if I can get it there. As it is, it's shooting 1 inch at 300 yards with very little vertical. Once you've found your best seating depth and charge weight, you're going to want to weight sort everything and do the best brass prep you can. Here's a great story on the subject by a man that know's what he's talking about. He shoots competitively out to 2 miles.
