[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1312198, member: 68613"] They may be out there but I've never met anyone who did their load development at other than 100 yards. Beyond that too many external factors come into play. It becomes difficult to be sure that the behavior witnessed is the load or something else. The exception might be 338 Lapua and up where not much effects it up to 300 yards and may actually let it stabilize. P.S. Sorry guys but I gave up on the 243 barrel in the RPR. Pretty much burned the barrel trying different powders, different primers, different bullets, different seating depths and the best I could consistently get was 1 MOA. Many would be happy with that but in F Class 1/4 MOA is the goal and 1/2 MOA is easily achievable in other calibers. Swapped to a 30 inch 308 barrel in 1:8 twist (you read that correctly) and am engaged in trying to get it to shoot 230 grain Bergers. May get a 6 Dasher, 6 XC or 6 Creedmoor barrel for it down the road. Love the platform. Especially with the Timney trigger. [/QUOTE]
