[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 1327002, member: 94240"] Ok so here goes. I recently started reloading a few months back and have developed a load that I've been tuning. Load is Retumbo and a 168 grain Berger classic hunter in 7mm Remington Mag. I'm averaging consistent 3/4" groups at 200 (consistent meaning I've replicated the performance several times over around 200 rounds down range) and happy thus far with it giving the fact that I'm relatively new to reloading and long range. I've can make first round cold bore hits out to 500 easily where I shoot and I want to trust this load everywhere. My question is...what will my group look like with changes in geographical location. For example I have a hunt planned in Montana next year that I'd really like to fill my tag with a load and rifle I've built. Should I expect it to open up or anything. I do believe velocity will differ some but not sure about other variables . I've been there before but didn't really think about the precision of shooting like I do now. My mind says group size will remain constant if I do my part but can't really test it until I'm there and Florida is a longe ways from Montana lol. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
