[QUOTE="KaSH0508, post: 1603057, member: 100655"] I purchased a B14 Hunter in 7mm mag when they first came out. I bought it as a gift for my father. I picked up a box of HPH 162 ELD-x ammo and the first 5 shots out the gun went right at 1 MOA cleaning between each shot. Did this for the box of 20 and no groups went over 1 MOA. I then developed a load for it with components I had on my reloading shelf. Hornady Brass/ RL26/162 ELDx/federal 215s. It took very little effort and I ended up with multiple 5 shot groups in the .25-.35range. I then grabbed another box of factory 162s just to see how it would shoot them without cleaning in between each shot. End result was solid 1/2 MOA groups with factory ammo. It honestly was the easiest gun I ever developed a load for and shoots **** good with factory ammo. I gave it to my dad and at 65 years young he he made consistent hits on steel at 1000 with it. Hammered mule deer the past two seasons as well. One at 340 yards and another at 470 yards both bang flops. Overall it’s been a good gun. [/QUOTE]
