[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 814628, member: 61637"] Okay, so long story short I have been testing loads of 168gr VLD's and H-1000 for my 7mm RM. I found two great loads, one shoots .25 MOA and one shoots just under .5 MOA. Neither load has the velocity that I would like to get and both were less than max loads according to the Berger manual. So, I had already tested the max load at .020" off the lands and it shot about 1 MOA at 100 yards. I then loaded up another series to test, this time at .040", .060", .080", .100", and .120" off of the lands. I shot these this past weekend and was a little disheartened by the results. the size of my groups did not really increase or decrease. The groups pretty much stayed the same throughout the series. Does anyone have any possible explanations or ideas? Would it be worthwhile to go back and try .010", .030", .050", .070", .090", and .110" off the lands? I will say that I do not want to try the bullet in the lands as hunting is going to be the primary use for these loads. I am glad that I have found the two loads that I did, and I will use them if needs be, but I would like to get my RM shooting as flat as possible with the same .25-.5 MOA results. Thanks for the help in advance! Joe [/QUOTE]
