[QUOTE="Window, post: 1698642, member: 88485"] I agree and nothing wrong with luck. But in all seriousness, conditions were perfect this morning and the remaining seven shots on the steel plate were just as impressive. Also, you are correct about greater velocity potential but several years ago, I had the same rifle fail because I was pushing it to the limit and I was lucky to escape injury. With this particular load, the velocity meets expectations and there’s no strain on any of the components or the action and thankfully has plenty horsepower to get the job done on a elk in that 700yd range as long as the conditions favor. As for a little icing on the cake, any day now, I’ll be getting back the very first Weatherby I bought in 1988 (270 mag MarkV laser mark) with a new 28” Krieger barrel, trued and bedded. Hoping the Hammers shoot we’ll in it also! [/QUOTE]
