[QUOTE="sdoc, post: 556728, member: 37933"] i know this thread is old but i recently picked up an x-bolt in 7mm rem mag used from a gun shop. it has a 26 inch fluted barrel and a muzzle break (not a BOSS) i was told was put on by a local gunsmith. i just started reloading also and would love to get those loads from WRG without doing much research i just asked around at my local gunshop about loads for 7mm and looked at a few manuals there i decided on IMR-4350, fed mag primers and 154gr hornady sst's. i also bought a box of factory winchester powermax 150gr ammo. i used winchester brass and made loads from 59 to 63 grs in 1 gr increments. at the range i was disapointed after a few shots to get where i wanted at 100yds i shot 2 3shot groups with the factory ammo both were around 2 inches off the same bench rest i often shoot 1/2" groups with my savage 110 in 270. then i tried my loads all the way up with no improvement.... so idk what im doing wrong i figured i could do close to MOA with the factory ammo but 2 MOA is unacceptable as i bought the gun for shooting 500-700 yds. maybe need to just try different bullets and powders? primers? suggestions would be great [/QUOTE]
