[QUOTE="Huntinghick, post: 490432, member: 31868"] The rifle is a Remington 700 in 300 win with a 26 inch barrel with a 1 in 10 twist wearing a vortex scope with Leupold rings and 15 moa bases With my previous load of 165 gr speer spbt over 72 grains imr4831 this rifle would hold under an inch at 300 yards under 3 at 500 yards and under good weather conditions would shoot 7-12" at 1000. I felt very confident out to 700 yards but I had problems with not being able to use the magazine and I felt the single feeding rounds made for a poor hunting rifle. So I am now trying 180 grain sst's and 210 gr bergers. So far I have had groups with the bergers grouping 3/4 to 1/2 inch at 100 yards. Do I continue to try for a more accurate load or start practicing at longer ranges with this load, and if I continue to try loads at what point is it good enough? gun) [/QUOTE]
