[QUOTE="Roy Sparks, post: 961686, member: 81099"] I have a 7mm Rem Mag with a Shilen stainless barrel. It was originally a bull barrel and i believe it was 26". It has been turned down to more of regular hunting profile and is now 24 " at my request. It has a 9" twist rate. The barrel is free floated. I want to achieve optimum accuracy with this rifle ( Win pre '64 action ). I am currently using 75.5 gr of Somchem S 365 powder driving a 162 Hornady interlock with a COL of 85 mm. I have some federal premium cases and some local PMP cases. The primers I'm using now are Federal Premium Large Rifle Magnum Match. I would like to if possible have at least the first 3 bullets within a 1/4 " at a hundred meters. Understandably I have to bring my side as the shooter. I dont believe the barrel has had over 500 rounds through it. Am I asking to much or could i achieve my objective ? When the barrel was still original ( bull barrel ) I achieved 1/4" groups at a 100 meters with Federal Premium Factory Ammo with 160 gr Nosler partitions. I want dearly for the rifle to do this again. Thanks Roy. [/QUOTE]
