[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 373699, member: 8927"] 1.5" at 200 yds is less than MOA, approx 0.75MOA. With 162 a-max in my 7mm mag I seated them to just touch and went up in grains until I got the velocity I wanted and was not getting pressure signs. I don't know what you have done to get at that load, so here's what I would do from scratch. Start with the bullet at the lands and increase the powder until you hit pressure signs, pick the best powder weight, then seat the bullet deeper(away from the lands) to see if that improves. Once you have the best combo of powder and seating depth you could swap primers or try it all over again with another powder. The other thing is to check bedding pressure points, scope mounts etc. Stu. [/QUOTE]
