[QUOTE="brianmark, post: 952379, member: 80573"] Hey fellas, this is my first post on here, been following for quite some time tho.. anyhow..recently I bought a like new remington model 700 sendero 7mm rem mag from a buddy, and I plan to someday stretch its legs out. Currently it is set up with a bushnell elite tactical 4200 6-24x50 with seems like a great scope so far. After a rough 200 yard zero(havent started loading for it yet) I have a little over 42 moa left for elevation with the 20 moa rail. I have a box of sierra matchking 168s I plan to start off load development on it. I know the .488 bc is lacking, but ive had great luck with sierras in the past. My question is, firstly, does this seem like a solid set up to start off the long range game? And the other is about what people are using for powder, etc with either the smk like I am or similar 168s. I know there will be several different opinions about the smk being used on deer but id like to hear what you guys got for me. I love to learn new things about shooting and can tell theres a wealth of knowledge on this forum. little background on myself since Im new here. My name is Brian, I have been in the us navy for almost 6 years now, stationed in gulfport ms.. im a construction mechanic second class(e5).
