[QUOTE="hank shaper, post: 139342, member: 7199"] Fiftydriver you read right. I will answer your questions in order. 6.5X300WBY First time to the range. High then low for the most part. Rem 700 has been trued. Barrel is free floated. Lilja 27.5" 1 in 9. Bedded in syn stock with epoxy steel including about 2" of the barrel shank. This reamer has a long throat. All of my bullets are well off of the lands due to mag. restrictions. I shot several powders, most all loaded to the point of showing slight pressure signs. It has been my experience that the big magnums print better when loaded hotter. I shot two flat base bullets that printed better. They were pretty hot also. I shot 130 gr. Sciroccos that all printed vertical with almost all powders. My loads are as follows: VV 160 75.0 grs. with 120 gr. FB Sierras 3/4" @ 100 Retumbo 77.0 grs. with 130 gr. Horn FB 3/4" @ 100 H 1000 80.0 grs. with 130 gr. Scirocco AA8700 89.0 grs. with 130 gr. Scirocco H5010 84.0 grs. with 130 gr. Scirocco This is too lite H 1000 85.0 grs. with 120 gr. TSX VV160 71.0 grs. with 130 gr. Scirocco My lateral spread makes me think this gun wants to shoot. The inconsistent vertical makes me think it might be my technique, although this has never been a problem with my other guns (7 STW, 300 win and 280 AI). Thanks for everyones imput and especially these detailed questions Fiftydriver. Hank [/QUOTE]
