[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 206595, member: 4191"] Truthfully, the only way to know is to shoot it. If you reload and work at it a bit, I think you'll be able to find a load that will group better than 0.75" at 100 yards. How much better can only be learned after you put some time in developing loads and shooting. I wouldn't waste time on 5-shot groups. 3-shot groups are plenty. All you'll do is wear out your barrel shooting 5-shot groups and the barrel will heat up and groups will start to expand with anything more than 3 shots in my two Tikkas. And then how your best reload will perform at 700 yds will have to be determined - again - by shooting at that distance. [/QUOTE]
