"Enter Me In The Swarovski Z5 Rifle Scope Contest".

Mine shot like that before I developed Retumbo Load for it. I'll have to check the load data for you. My load data is for a 180 accubond although it shot extremely well with a 200 gr nosler partition and was more predictiable. Also, for some reason mine only shoots accurately with new brass...

I have a gentry quiet brake on my 300rum. It is much quieter than a weatherby accubrake. Gentry is in Montana. David Gentry Custom Gun Maker - Quiet Muzzle Brake

As a matter of fact , I have 4 8 lbs bottles of rl 2217 which is bought hodgon from an australian company and repackaged by Hodgon as h1000. I paid 69.00 a tub. I have 2 unopened 8lb tubs extra if anyone would like some.

I just finished working up a load of retumbo for my friends 30-378. Retumbo cakes and compresses. One thing is that gun does not like a lot of anything. We finally got it to shoot .75 groups with 111.5 grs of retumbo . 180 gr accubonds. His weatherby has always " shot two threw one". Finally I...

Post it up. I am always open to suggestions. I have plenty of h1000. It shot extremely tight groups using 88 gr under a 200 gr partition. Thanks again

I found the culprit but read on for the results. Just came home from the range,, loaded 10 rounds. First out of a clean bore was erratic at 3.5 high and 2 L windage 2nd, 3.25^ and .75< 3rd, 2.25^ / 1.25< They were all spread out. The 4th shot settled at 1.75^ and .75< followed by the 5th...

I used the ladder method to find the tightest and most consistant at 100 yards. I got this load to shoot a 3 shot group of (I believe) .312.. I have noticed that some of the brass that I am reloading is a tighter when chambered, so I wonder if that has anything to do with my consistancy. I have...

The target is 99% correct. The first shot lower left was 3" left and the second was 4" left. otherwise exactly as described I guess I am expecting the group to be uniform like I get at 100, just to open up a little. So taking all the variables; ie, my shooting skill, wind, distance, temp...

In response to Eaglet, the gun was bought new in Nov 06' has about 130-150 rounds down the pipe and the choro in a new gamma master. Since I do not have a 400 yd range, I am going to re zero at 100 and shoot out to 300and measure my drops. Then I can put the numbers into the program and see if...

Well I shot today . The 100.5 gr shoots good at 100 but out at 300 very unstable shooting irratic probally the excessive pressure as someone spoke of due to the longer accubond bullet. When I changed to a 99.0 gr load which shot as good as the 100.5 max load , Without moving the scope, the first...

I agree with the old school basics. I have decided to check the BC on the load and check several other entries on the program but when it comes down to it, I am going to physically zero at 300 then shoot at 100 then 200 to see whats going on. I guess I will need to find a location where I can...

I realize numbers in the computer and bullet holes on paper can be way off. Kinda like theory and reality. I am shooting a Remington sendero 300 rum 6.5 x 20 long range Leupold with a gentry brake. I am loading 100.5gr retumbo w/ 180 gr accubond. I have chronographed the load at 3355fps avg. I...
