[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 99008, member: 1403"] I was testing loads for my dads Ruger mk2, S/S yesterday. Rifle is totally stock except for a timney trigger. No bedding, not floated. I was testing the 75g vmax and IMR-4350 for him for coyotes. Scope used is the VX2, 6-18 Target. I was getting 3725fps and .75" 3 shot groups at 100 yards. I wanted to shoot a group on paper at 500 yards to make sure the clicks would be "dead on". Good thing I did this because it took 2 clicks more to actually be dead on. I knew this firsthand because before I shot the target, I set out a milk jug and I hit the bottom of it. I went up 2 clicks and busted that thing open. Then I shot my 3 shot group at 500 yards. The bullets were landing perfctly for up and down, but with a 5mph wind to the left, they were about 6" to the left. Not much to my surprise, my 3 shots measured an even 4". Not bad for a Ruger with nothing more then a trigger job. He was totally happy with it, and you know what, I would be to. He will be busting yotes at 500 before he knows it.
