[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 68524, member: 8947"] I worked up a 1/4" load in my '06 using surplus powders. At 500yds, it would only put one bullet on a 8X11 target. A change of powder and primer, some tweaking and it was shooting inside 4" at that range. Testing at 100yds for LR loads is a waste of time. I use 180yds as my min and 250yds if wind is light. Then verify at the max range you want to shoot. Stringing that doesn't look like much on a 1" group can become a foot or more as distance increases. If 100yds groups were indicative of 1000yds groups, BR results would have 2" groups more often then listed as a new world record. Jerry [/QUOTE]
