[QUOTE="lovec_1, post: 1692972, member: 15032"] This speed would be fine in a 280 Remington, or here in Europe in 7x64mm Brenneke. But in 7mm Rem Mag it is just slow. I only can agree with you - reloading and precision shooting changed my life 20 years ago. Since then I am unsatisfied with every cartridge. When I found right load, I move to the next challenge :))) Sako is my long range hunting rifle. I have good access to longer shooting range, up to 1400 meters. I've shot with Sako successfully to 900 meters (approx. 980 yards). It means 3-shot groups under 0.5 MOA. And yes, this rifle shoots easily good groups - [B]Berger Hybrid 180gr. at[/B] [B]2920 fps[/B] showed at 300 meters 3-shot groups between 1"- 1.4". Repeatedly. I also have successfully hunted with this load. So the rifle surely has the potential. I can calmly get back to Berger but you know - the ELD-X showed itself to be the next challenge :))) Here is the best but slow load with 175gr. ELD-X at 300 meters. The orange sticker is 1". Click for bigger photo. [URL='https://ibb.co/rMyWKn9'][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/rMyWKn9/IMG-0287.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And the rifle, actually topped with March FX 5-40x56.
