[QUOTE="elktaker, post: 1061357, member: 86786"] After messing with 145 gr LRx's in my factory barrel with multiple loads and no luck. All groups over 3 inches at 200 yd for the best groups. I decide to pull the trigger on a barrel. I went with Pac-nor since they said the wait time was 8 to 10 weeks and I will at least be Spike bull hunting this fall so I need time to get it shooting. So here what is is: 7mm WSM, Chrome Moly, medium sporter, 28" and I went with 3 groove - 1:8 twist. I also decide to pay the $130 and get it threaded with a Pac-nor brake. Now I need to figure out which bullets to shot. After long consideration, I am willing to load one round at a time. I am thinking of getting Berger 180 VLD but the 168 are still pretty close on paper. Any other options? Bullet needs to be able to take elk/deer near and far. I was using Berger 168 VLD before, but I am worried about shoulder shots within 300 yd. I would like to shot paper at 1000 yd with the same load. [/QUOTE]
