[QUOTE="birddog67, post: 658996, member: 30568"] I found this site last year , and have wanted to get into long range shooting ! Most shots I have taken before finding this site was 150 yards . So last year I purchase a 300 ultra SPS , and shot that gun for awhile and found that with a standard conture barrel gets hot. Pretty quick , and started to throw bullets around . I then purchased a Lar 8 with a 24 " barrel , 308, . Started shooting the 308 for range time a practicing my shooting technic , trigger pull and hold breathing , site picture . Well in just over a year I can hold MOA out to 300 yards and have made 334'yard kill shot on pigs this last year , I also have shot the 308 to 600 yards and can hit a 12x12 plate . Well that gets me to this point , I started loading in February of this year , started with the 308 , I have got the reloading down for the auto I can shoot with my hand loads and hold consistently 3Moa to 300 yards . I will go out farther this month, Now for the problem I purchased a newer 300 ultra mag sendaro , 26" tube with a brake , this is a stock gun with trigger work done it has a karsten cheek riser on it also .so I started loading berger 210 vld for this gun got it down to 3/4 MOA at 100 , I have not tried out 200-400 yet . I wanted to load some Barnes 180 triple shock for it well I started shooting some factory loads thru the gun held under .50 MOA did not chrono this load , So I loaded using 180s and retumbo started with 87 grains working up in .5 grains so 87.5,88 ,88.5 ,90,90.5,91,91.5 92, 92.5 , Velocity ont he last load 92.5 grains was 3140 3 shots only had a 12 fps difference . Best I could get was right at an inch MOA ,93 grains is max on Barnes website Before any one asked , the gun was clean , gun is bedded , action screws are tight , scope has been verified tracking I have tried full length sizing and neck sizing only . Seating depth is measured from oligive I am at a loss , is there anyone in the Houston area the would,be willing to verify my loading , watch me load or me watch them load to figure this out , I know the gun is able to shoot sub MOA . I just don't want to load any more. and put rounds down the barrel of this gun . Until I can figure out what I am doing wrong . Please pm if anyone is in the Houston Texas area , thanks Steve This rifle has shot factory ammo right at .50 MOA [/QUOTE]
