[QUOTE="StraightShot, post: 853344, member: 40833"] I just got home from a great morning at the range. I have been the process of getting some loads worked up for my browning 7mm and my rem 700 .243. The other night worked up 3 different loads for each gun. In the 7mm i'm working with the 140 grain barnes ttsx. Topped with a vortex viper 6-20x50 30mm tube My first 3 tries went like this 61 grains of H4831 1 shot- 2800, 2-2848 3-2837 No signs of pressure 3 shot 1" group 63 grains of H4831 1-2961 2-2970 3-2966 No signs of pressure 3 shot 1/2" group 65 grains H4831 1- 3079- high pressure signs 2- no shot 3- no shot Conclusion the 63 grains of h4831 very accurate but I would prefer some more velocity. So i'm going to try a few other powders in hope to find some more velocity and accuracy. .243 Remington 700 topped with a vortex crossfire 95 gr berger VLD I tried 2 different loads 37 grains of h4895 1- 3029 2- 3027 3- 3030 no sign of pressure 2 shots basicly same hole 1 shot 1/4' left 37 grains varget 1- 2950 2-2961 3-2940 no signs of pressure 3/4-1" group Hoping to get a little more velocity and i'm in no hurry for the rifle to be ready to go so I will keep playing some more. I also shot some factory loads out of my rem 700 22-250 hornady 55 grain vmax loads. 1-3678 2-3682 3-3658 4-3675 5-3669 Right close to a 1" group at a 100yards Just thought I would share. [/QUOTE]
