[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1709948, member: 19988"] I’ve had 2 cronies on it but they didn’t agree with each other. I used the FPS from both at 12” target I was shooting at a grand. I couldn’t hit the target. I have a G7 range finder if you know what that is. It calculates for everything to keep it simple. I kept bumping the FPS up on the range finder and I started hitting the target. Berger states the BC on their 168 VLDs at .617. So after the final validation of 3265 FPS I was hitting the 12” targets out to 1000 yards. I shot some at 400, 500, 700 yards also. I have a Berger, Hornady, Nosler and Hodgdon reloading books I use. I no I’m over max charge but I’m not seeing any pressure signs. I have a vias 2” break on it and I know they bump FPS up regardless of what people say. I know the break don’t add that much but my elevation turret matches my ballistics calculator and my G7 range finder. It’s good enough to hold a 6” 5 shot group at a grand. I know it’s not as good as some people or my 260 Rem. But it’s a stock Rem Sendero. I just have the break on it in a MDT Chassis. I don’t see my 7 Mag able to do these velocities. But the only other way to get me on target is 2750 FPS and a BC set at almost .800 BCs. I doubt 168 grain Berger’s are anywhere near .800 BC. [/QUOTE]
