[QUOTE="twoftagl, post: 644222, member: 46908"] Yup, that's right kermodie, new to the long range thing. I've Shot a bunch of 3 & 4-position smallbore, but not long-range and haven't reloaded for rifle yet. My plan was find a load that works and then proceed to wear out the barrel learning how to make it all come together. I'm pretty comfortable with the rifle out to 400 yards on deer, a four-inch group no problem. The two whitetails I took with it were both close-in though, so I'll probably have to get stationed back out West before I'll get some real-life practice. But can't wait to get busy wearing out that barrel! backwoods83: yeah, you're right, I've got a 26" bbl w/ a 10 twist now so the super-heavies probably aren't in the cards for me with this rifle. Yet. Probably won't mess with the VLDs until I can shoot long enough for them to make a difference, like kermodie said. You mentioned not needing to turn the necks unless I have a tight chamber, just curious why that is? I have no idea how tight it is, it's a stock chamber in a 700 5r, so I assume it's on the loose end. Thanks for the help on how to find the right load! Cheers! Chris [/QUOTE]
