Im very happy about the way this load, and my rifle is shooting.

Shot prone with a Harris Bipod laying in the weeds with a rear sand sock... Hope I shoot like this at PCPR in a week and a half!

Now before you bust my nuggets that these are not 5 shot groups remember reloading supplies are hard to come by and I have a match in 2 weeks.

These groups were shot during load development my 1st time out with the gun and unfired Rem brass. Jim Bawden was spotting for me. I was annoyed the holes werent touching until he reiminded me I was shooting at 200 and not 100 yards.

But hey Curtis, Yours arent bad.

Side note: the Rem brass only lasted 3 reloads before it got to the point where I couldnt open my bolt after firing it. Even after using a SM Base dies on it. I switched to Win 7mm-08 brass and have loaded it 8 times now with no problems at all.
