[QUOTE="brokenspoke, post: 216972, member: 5350"] Well I don't really know what kind of distances I should really be expecting. I'm guessing no more that 300 yards. If everything goes right I'll be going to British Columbia & hunting black bear, elk & moose. I don't have much experience with loading larger calibers. My whitetail rifle is a .270 & thats about as big as I'm used to loading. I primarily load for varmint rifles and I'm always looking for tiny little bughole groups. I know that I'm not going to get that out of a bigger rifle but I'd like to think I should be able to get them at least under an inch group outside to outside of the holes. I'm also trying to work up a load for my Remington 700 BDL 7mm Mag. I have an older one that has a 24" barrel. I want to shoot 160 grain partitions out of it. I shot a group yesterday with 62 grains of IMR 4831 over a CCI 250 and the first two shots were actually in the same hole but the third one strung about an inch & a half low & left. I'm hoping it was because it was around 90 degrees when I was shooting & it was the second group I shot in a row & my barrel was getting pretty hot.
