[QUOTE="ngodwetrust21, post: 615023, member: 42332"] I am new to long range shooting and reloading. I am seeking the advice of the community who got me started in my long range rifle projoct. I have a remington 700 chambered in 308. The upgrades I have made include: a jewel trigger set to 2lbs and a bell and carleson medalist light tactical rifle with aluminum bedding and a free floating barrel. The barrel of the rifle is a stock 26 inch remington as well as the action. I am shooting a SMK 175 gr seated .015 off the lands with COAL of 2.90 and 4.1 gr of varget powder. My questions. 1. The rifle is shooting 1 to .25 inch groops at 200 yards. Are there any other upgrades I can do to my rifle to make it more accurate or am I expecting too much with what I am working with? 2. Can I use the SMK 175 gr to hunt deer? 3. What upgrades can I make to this rifle that will improve my accuracy aside from purchasing a new barrel, action, or bolt? Thanks, Andy [/QUOTE]
