[QUOTE="ig25, post: 599805, member: 34728"] OK keep in my this fairly new to me when it comes to long range reloading. so if my loads were where pie size at 400 yards i was done. I am trying to get the most out of my savage weather warrior 116 in 300rum. it will slowly become my 1000 yard gun. current loads are 210 begers with 89g retumbo at mag length 3.60 coal I have tried varied coal but never keep records do to bad results. this weekend 28deg 15mph head wind with a hornady oal length gauge and 175 smk was 3.753 touching 1st load 175smk 3.744 coal with 100 g retumbo group .949 4 shots 2nd load 175 smk 3.732 coal with 100g retumbo group .363 3 shots 1 flyer to make it .901 3rd load 175 smk 3.705 coal with 100g retumbo group .704 4 shots 4th load 175 smk 3.625 coal with 100g retumbo group 1.487 4 shots 5 th load 210 bergers 3.743 coal 91g retumbo group 1.168 4 shots because thats all i had left. max coal length 3.794 is touch. where should i start from? the 2nd load and play with charge? should i have set a group 10 or 20 thousandth into the lands?
