[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2566505, member: 116563"] Made a range trip this morning for a seating depth test. Seated .025, .05 & .075 deeper than my last load. The groups all pretty much averaged 5/8 MOA. Except I lost about 6fps with each change in depth. So with a solid, freshly verified, 100 yard zero and my original load, I went back to 700 and then 900 yards to verify drops and BC. Velocity averaged right at 3400fps. You can see the advertised BC of .272 already starting to not line up with the 700 yard group. I adjusted for it before the 900 yard group. Which ended up truing the BC to .248 g7. I really don’t believe this rifle wants to shoot this bullet much better than this. But with some consistent range trips, I think 900 yards will be a very killable range with this setup. All the the other impacts are my buddies 28 nosler that we were out shooting. I sold him my old gun loaded for 155 hammers and it shoots extremely well. [ATTACH type="full"]376356[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]376357[/ATTACH] So finally load with the 181’s is 181 Hammer Hunter 96gr. H1000 CCI 250 Peterson brass 3400fps [/QUOTE]
