[QUOTE="njones125, post: 1303077, member: 93678"] So I have a 338 lap improved 40 degree shoulder built on a mark v action. I have a load with 300gr Bergers and 97gr of Retumbo with a 0.050 jump that shoots clover leafs at 100. I see some guys on here with the same setup are around 100gr- 101gr of powder. I'm Getting an average of 2876fps with only an 8fps spread in velocities. Before I go see what this load does at extended ranges should I try to get a little more speed out of it? Part of me says leave it be 50-75 fps isn't a big deal, but am I really utilizing the extra case capacity gained with the improved version? What would you guys do? And although I am happy with how this load shoots I haven't tried a load yet this this rifle doesn't shoot sub MOA with. [/QUOTE]
