[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1538381, member: 85987"] 168 berger vld hunting over 42 grains of varget in 118lr brass #34 primer I shot a sub inch 480yd group dead on the cross of the plate. 2850fps in my rifle less than 1" of vertical@ 700. This is as far as I have shot on paper. I can hit a 12"plate @ 1100 over 80% on my own and even higher with a good spotter calling my wind. The 178 eldm and the 175tmk not the smk will both kill very well. Lapua brass 41.6 varget 210m 2780+ (I don't have my book handy) Both have single digit es and both have about a bullet's width for vertical @ 500yds. Little better than the berger in the wind but with a good wind call the berger is more accurate. I shoot at the expert level not at high master level nowadays when I compete. I have a tight bore .298 vs .300 This creates much higher pressures than the book suggests for this powder charge. [/QUOTE]
