All simple physics. But not so simple so let the fun begin on the explaination.

Yes, exit velocity has an effect on sighting vertical plane.

Well, if it takes all that, then it is not a hunting rifle for anything more than a couple hundred yards.

Measure CBTO to lands contact and try .010 off lands or less.

Burns speed chart should put you in the ball park. One of the top custom gunsmiths here in TX runs R33 in the loads he develops for his custom 28 Noslers.

Kiwi neural gets another nod.

I bought some Jagemann, in 7mm RM, I am very impressed with the quality and precision. Seems they have a limited selection of calibers with their own head stamp. Got it through Natchez. Made in their own factory in Wisconsin.

This is the best comparison I have seen or heard of. The top performer(s) just might surprise you and other folks. Not who I thought, I run the RCBS Special 5, a bit smaller than the Rock Chucker, but just as precise. The one that so many taut as superior, did not prove to be so when put to...

I get about 100 fps more velocity with near max charges of R26 compared to H1000, and with about dozen or more different bullets, only one or two bullet, brass combinations are best with H1000 for accuracy. Now that I have spent a year messing with bullets, the R26 supply goes away or gonna...

Ordering some in 7mm today, my Bergara runs most everything on the money with 69 grains of R26, Fed 215 @ O10 off the lands around 3150 fps. zone with the 150g - 160g. bullets made by most any manufacturer. The TLR are 155g. Looks good on paper and Shooting Times has an excellent article on...

Clever, well done.

Bigger is better way out, 338 Ultra is what a very experienced Wyoming elk hunter uses, but, 1000 yards is a long way, a lot can go wrong, get closer, 300 yards or less, less is better. Folks lie about wounding and not recovering animals.

I have shot about 4 lbs of R26 in a Bergara 7mm RM. Dialed in a dozen bullets different bullets in this rifle so far, and R26 is the velocity and accuracy king using 10 bullet/weights and H-1000 is more accurate with two others. I have had no problems shooting thru one hot summer here in Texas...
