[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1717376, member: 104167"] Ya know, that cartridge is a 1500 yard round. (and can be shot out to 2000 or 2500 yards) Using a 1:10 twist and a 180 -220 gr bullet at 2700-2950 fps is right in the wheelhouse. 650 yards should be a chip shot. My money is on overheating the barrel too quickly combined with shooter's technique and, the dial is probably not matched exactly and THAT shows up past 500 yards. AND, what about the bedding and screw torque? What type of bedding is in that stock? Can you torque the action screws to 40 or 50 in.lbs? (Dont try that with a plastic stock, 25 in.lb max) [/QUOTE]
