[Joe furrer]

First post here and I thought it might be good to share load data as it seems google takes me here quite a bit when I am looking for data.

Rifle - 7 RM, Phoenix Receiver, PTG Bolt, 26" #5 Krieger (9 twist), McMillan Stock.

168 Classic Hunter - 69 Grains IMR 7977
2960 FPS, ES 60, SD 21.6

168 Classic Hunter - 73 Grains Retumbo
3102 FPS, ES 39, SD 11.1

This group was 9 shots at a 100 yards with 7977

What chrono did you use to measure velocity? If it were my loads, I'd be concerned with the ES/SD numbers you're getting.

Are those your max loads?

Joe,

Thanks for the post. Looks like some 168 Classic Hunters are in my future.
