[QUOTE="7mm Eclipse, post: 672226, member: 14995"] Bart B. - Thanks for the info. It is appreciated. I will definitely incorporate your recommendations into my future work to get some really good 5 shot groups for target practice, and for getting a workable group for long range hunting out to about 600 yards. I need a lot more practice at 1000 yards before I would attempt a hunting shot at that distance. I also found that the IMR-4831 worked well with the 7mmWSM. It gave me some really good groups. I switched to the H4831sc after finding a lot of the good press it got here on the forum by a lot of 7mm shooters. I also liked the temperature stability of the Hodgdon Powders with the very low ES and SD's produced by the combination of this powder with the 7mm cartridges. Tim - I did seat the 180 VLD Burget Hunting Bullets into the lands about .005 for a while. I found that I could get similar accuracy and precision when I seated them out about .020 off the lands. I didn't like the idea of seating the bullet into the lands because while hunting if I needed to unload a chambered round, it could possibably pull the bullet out of the caseing resulting in the powder being dumped into the rifle. For the Custom Build, Nate gave the rifle a longer than standard throat which was by design to allow the use of both the 168 and 180 VLD Bergers. The magazine was built to allow the use of the extremely long 180's to reduce the concern for how the cartridges would cycle into the chamber. It works great with the bullet into or off of the lands.
