[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 61697"] I got the same results with the Berger 180 7mm out of my stw. 3/4 in 10 rnd groups at 100 yards, 1.7 10 rnd groups at 400 yards. I guess the bullet "fell" asleep between 100 yards and 400 yards although the faster I push the Berger the smaller the groups got but copper fouling increased to where only a 5 rnd group between cleanings would produce tight groups again. The 160's out of my wifes stw produce 6 inch groups at 400 and the 168 smk produced 4 in groups not a big difference but I suspect if you take that out to 1k youll see the benifits of bullets designed for long range shooting and hunting. She took a deer two year ago at 325 yards with 160 grain fail safes and it performed ok. those fail safe bullets when they dont hit bone produce little tiny holes in and just a tad bit bigger coming out but killed the same as the Bergers I use.
