[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 22954, member: 12"] Might want to stay with bullets in the 175 gr range if you are going to shoot to 1000. The palma guys get the 155s to shoot to 1000 by using 30 inch barrels and 1-13 twists. You have 1-12 and did not say what lenght but I can assume it to be 26 or max 28. Try the Varget powder and F210 primers with Lapua brass. Lapua seems to be one of the most consistent brass available today. Start the bullets in the lands and then come out .005 once you find a powder load that wants to shoot. Try the ladder method discussed under on this board for testing powders. 1/4 MOA is a lofty goal, and that barrel may not be able to get there. Either way you are going to need a scope of much higher power for load development. [/QUOTE]
