[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1141418, member: 85987"] Kirby used a3x15 NF to shoot a varmit in a contest if I remember correctly I think it was 2300yds. With the 300 wby loaded with a 190 serria I use to shoot sub moa 10 shoot groups at 1k. This was late 80's early 90's. With what is available for barrels bullets powder and information, you can build one to shoot out to a mile. Look at the threads from Broz shooting the 215 berger at 3000ish fps. The wby has more powder room. you would need to configure a reamer t take advantage of the powder room and remove the freebore so seating to/in the lands is possible even if not needed. Shooting what you currently have will take load development. With a stock chamber you may not be able to shoot some of the most slippery vld style bullets. Try the Amax and serria's to start with. They are less sensitive to jump as a rule. Reloader25/26 and 33 H1000 Retumbo and 4831 I have not used the new enduron powders however 7828 was my powder of choice with heavy bullets back then. Reloader always would shoot screamers but I could not shoot day in day out consistantly. Now with affordable and available chronographs and information it's easy to see why with the temp sensitivity of reloader powders of the day. Accurate 3100 back then was another powder that worked well but never best in any particular bullet weight. Best of luck with your choice [/QUOTE]
