[QUOTE="andrewm, post: 860305, member: 72004"] Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm new to this forum and long range shooting. Basically I've been staying inside 400 yards for shooting and I recently set up a new Tikka T3 Superlite (fluted barrel) 300WM with a muzzle brake and a nightforce nxs 5.5-22x50mm scope The attached photos are pictures of my first round of handloads for it with Berger VLD 185gr bullets. I would have gone heavier but I can't find any heavier berger bullets the grids on the targets are 1" and all were shot at 100 yards 3 shot groups and every shot is cold bore. I waited about 10 min in between every shot. 5mph wind I was wondering how accurate this rifle would be out to say 600, 700, 800+ yards. Is it accurate enough to take an elk at those ranges with the groupings i've got so far. getting about 2835 average on velocity. [/QUOTE]
