[QUOTE="Mr.Moa, post: 1716531, member: 33467"] I stumbled across some of you load development post on another thread and they gave me some hope because I'm looking at a criterion for NSS. I talked to james yesterday and he has several 1-8" but on the shelf, but no 1-7.5". I think I'm going to go the 1-7.5 route, my deal is I could probably have a 1-8" ready to go by hunting season vs the 10-16 week lead time will hit me mid season here. Most of my hunting here is around 175-750ft with the highest being around 1900ft. The place I hunt the most is 175 ft, the range is 500, and next most common hunting spot is 750ft. Temps here are all over the place, could be 10* or it could be 65* but i figure for the most part around 30-40*. If I can push it fast enough, the 1-8 looks to be stable enough, but if a can't find a node fast enough without hitting pressure, I may have to drop back down and lose stability. With the 1-7.5" the numbers look good across all of my possible scenarios with everything in the range I want to shoot. I just have to be patient and wait for the barrel and not make a rash move just to get a 1-8" here faster, but i'll probably be better off in the long run. [/QUOTE]
