[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 339938, member: 18994"] Bro, you and your new rig produced sub MOA results at 400 yds on your first trip to the range with handloads you developed. That is dynamite! This is a success and you should be elated. You are not even warmed up yet. Once you find a comfortable, solid, stable, prone shooting position and get some time on the trigger, I have no doubt you and your rig will soon be punching sub MOA at twice that distance. I would not mess with your load or the rifle at this point. With the Bergers, both my 300WSM and 7mmRM shot best with alot of jump to the rifle lands (about .120) and both of them produce sub moa @ 1000yds. If you are shooting clover leafs at 100, your rifle and load are on the right track. If you don't want to drop $100 on a chronograph keep your eyes peeled at the range for a fellow shooter who has one set up. The Remington X-mark pro trigger is good and should not handicap you too much. However, in my experience it is limited to about 3lbs. Consider a Jewell if you really get into long range shooting and feel a lighter trigger would benefit you. If your trigger is pre X-mark, it is easy to adjust sub 3lb and you should take advantage. There are alot of challeges and lessons to be learned shooting long range. The classroom is in the field sending lead waaay down range. Seems I learn something almost every time I go out to train. I find it very satisfying connecting at crazy yardage. Puts a smile on my face everytime. All you need is several more trips to the range and some significant rounds through your rig at long ranges before you even begin know where things stand. This is the best part. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Welcome to the Forum. Its great to have you aboard! Rob [/QUOTE]
