[QUOTE="Brydawg512, post: 2198819, member: 107792"] Hello all, I wanted to see if I could get some opinions, based off of my results, for which bullet you would choose to do load development on. Disclaimer, I am very new to LR/precision shooting, so there is the possibility that my accuracy ability slightly affected the groupings. I ordered this ammunition from a local reloading company, and will detail the data that I recorded below (I shot two, 5-shot strings on different days and recorded the following data). I have included photos of a few of the groups below, and used a quarter for reference in grouping size. Personally, based off of what little knowledge I have, would say that the Barnes LRX and 180gr. Accubond performed the best. I hunt elk, deer, and bear, and want a bullet that is capable at taking these animals out to 650-700 yards. **EDIT: I should also add that I am shooting a stock Savage 110 Hunter in 300 Win Mag... the barrel on this is a standard "sporter" contour, so assume that some shots may have been thrown as barrel heated up. Please tell me your recommendations on how you would proceed (e.g. which bullet). Additionally, what should be the next step in the load development process to bring down my SD and ES? Is it charge weight, seating depth, or otherwise? Thank you all!! 190gr. Barnes LRX FPS per shot: 2972, 2979, 2906, 2928, 2912 SD: 30/34 (2 separate recordings) ES: 64/74 190gr. Accubond Long Range SD: 23/44 ES: 62/103 180gr. Accubond FPS per shot: 2970, 2986, 3013, 2979, 3004 SD: 12/17 ES: 30/43 [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210516_164758.jpg"]274536[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20210516_164654.jpg"]274538[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20210516_164643.jpg"]274539[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20210516_164622.jpg"]274540[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
