[QUOTE="Good, post: 466653, member: 18866"] Yes sir, the gun is a .308 Win Remington m700 VSF or VFS or however it goes, in left hand and is basically all stock. He had a bolt knob put on but that's it. It has a 26" fluted barrel. The load is 3.050" COAL so he can't mag feed, but we may shorten it up and see how the gun likes it next. Originally, we thought the powder charge was going to be 48.4g but we're not so sure now. This last time we went out he actually shot two 5-shot groups at 750yds and the .662 MOA group was slightly bigger than the other. The first group was with 48.4g and the slightly bigger group was shot with 49g. But, I think it was the wind that opened it up. There was one shot where I was just about to say "wind" when he sent it and I think that was the culprit. I'm not sure his velocity at this point as everytime I'm finished shooting '06 rounds there's not enough light to chrono him. We'll get him done first next time though. Most people find their nodes at or around 48.4g with this load and are seeing pressure at 49 but we are not. This 308 likes the r17, but my '06 hates it!:D [/QUOTE]
