[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 120750, member: 1403"] Keith- I'm not much of a Hornady fan personally. I just had a couple various 7mm boxes laying around and I wanted to see how different bullets would act. The 162g SST actualy seems like a decent bullet. I am not using the core lokt on anything but practice and rocks. I just wanted to see how it would fare in the newspaper, they will not be seeing any field use what so ever. I just bought some 160g AB's to play with. My 700 seems to shoot alright. Only bullets so far tried have been 140g btip and 168g vld and both grouped under .5" at 100 yards. Only took 10 shots with each bullet to get those groups to. Not very picky at all! Hopefully I can get the 160g AB to shoot .5"-.75 MOA out to 700 yards and going 3000fps. The magazine on my 700 is quite long. I'm able to use the 168g vld's as repeaters, and there just touching the lands. My OAL is 3.450" I still have a little room left, so I dont think there'll be a problem with the 160g AB not getting to the lands. The 140g btip was seated to 3.350" [/QUOTE]
