[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 383402, member: 999"] Shot this a couple days back at 1000 hrs. in a rolling/dancing mirage from 1000 yards. Target is 44" diameter with a 20" inner plate of 20" diameter. Load was 38.5 grs. Varget, BR4 primer, and the Berger 130 gr. VLD bullet. Don't know the velocity as of this date as I just haven't had or taken the time to set up the chrony. Rifle has 1-8.5 Krieger barrel, Rem 700 action equipped with a Surgeon DBM. Scope is a NightForce 5.5x22x56MM equipped with MilDots. This 10 shot group is a tat high on the 10 ring plate as I used the same zero I have for some 123 gr. SMK bullets loaded with the same load as the 130 Bergers and it appears that the latter is gonna shoot just a little flatter than the former.
