[QUOTE="RocketDog, post: 1068684, member: 56408"] Just started getting into reloading and was wondering for some opinions. I'm shooting a Ruger M77 Mark ii 7mag with Berger 168gr VLD hunting bullets, H1000, Federal Brass and Winchester Mag primers 100 yards. The first batch was made to figure out my powder charge. Started at 68.8 and worked up .4 grains to 70.4 seated them all at to the same ogive length of 3.465(not subtracting the comparator). I had consistent point of impact on powder charges 69.2, 69.6, and 70. Picture below on the left is of the best group from this batch at 69.2gr. I then moved onto seating depth using 69.6 grains of powder. I went up .005 starting at 3.465-3.485 ogive. The best group was at 3.485 pictured below on the right. Any suggestions on how to tighten it up from here? I realize its just a Ruger but would like to see if I can get a tighter group. Thanks [/QUOTE]
