[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 56072, member: 2330"] I bought a Savage 112BVSS in 7mm rem magnum with a 26 in tube and 9.5 twist Topped with a 6.5-20X40 Leupold LRT. I have been trying to work up a load with Nosler Ballistic tips and have thrown together groups with several differen't powders. The best group I have gotten is 3/4 inch edge to edge of the bullet holes, so maybe a 1/2 inch group. Note: that is a 5 shot group at 100 yards. My question being is this load good enough to use for long range hunting or will the bullets just scatter when I start shooting over 500 yards? Should I keep trying other loads or is this the one? I also haven't had a day without a cross wind under 10 mph. [/QUOTE]
