Re: What Bullet For 7-08
Still early days for me.. Only x80 rounds down the barrel, including x20 factory 140grn federal fusion I used to zero scope and break the barrel in.
(The fusion ammo grouped 1.5" at BEST during breaking-in etc)
As soon as I got on my 162 amax/h4350 test loads the groups tightened up a lot,
Only shooting pressure tests/OCW at 100yrd, but the worst 'scatter groups' were 1"...
The tightest (x3 shot OCW groups) have been one-raggy hole groups.
I managed to load up x10 rounds of raggy-hole node, (45.1grn) and try them at 400 yards quick before I had to finish for the day, and they grouped .7MOA
I'm sure they would have been a bit tighter if I hadn't rushed the shots so much,
I was mostly interested in how the elevation dope matched my ballistics app and chrono data.
Which turned out to be bang on the money @6.5 MOA elevation for 400yrd.
I'm leaving that alone for now, and going to try N550
