[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 46108, member: 547"] John M, I've shot the 156 through mine too & they held even a little tighter than the 176s at short range. No complaints. The 176s buck the wind better at 1K, so I mainly shoot them. I tested some of Don "Shaky" 'Groove Bullets' and they were superb. Although they were only 135 grains, the BIGGEST group I shot was in the .3s. The best, well, .065" at 100 yards. I haven't been able to get access to the 1,000 yard range I had shot on, so I can't verify their accuracy further out. Big Bore - the data is correct. The velocity was chronographed and the performance is in a different category altogether than a 6.5-284. This is out of a 30" Krieger in heavy Palma taper, Remington action, McMillain Prone stock, Jewell trigger, Nightforce 12-42x56mm scope (no brake). My primary load is 90.8 grains of 5010 pulldown powder, bullets seated .005" into the lands. It does eat barrels, although most of the rounds fired were at/near max since there was ZERO load data available when I began the project. I had it set-back last year & the barrel is now @ 28.5" (the .065" group was fired after the set-back). It's not as efficient as a 7mmSTW for the powder burned, but it chucks the heavier bullets better IMHO. The closest I can come to an accurate windage chart is to take a .308 Palma chart for a 155 Sierra at 1,000 yards and divide the MOA by FIVE.
