Believe it or not, the 3-round group was his. Lol outshot me with my own rifle
Umm...I believe you have....good shooting! You've got a nice load there it seems.
I know the feeling of a friend shooting my rifle better than me! Ridiculous! Lol

73gr of H4831sc was my load when I shot the Berger 185 classic hunter
it ran about 2940 with a 24" barrel
H1000 man myself. 75.5 grains under a 220 grain hornady ELDX.
Nice, that's the same load I ran in my old blued 300wm with a 180gr sierra pro hunter bullet, tried the game kings but it liked the flat base bullet better. Bagged a bull elk at 550 yards with that load also.
Going to start with that same load when my new stainless 300 is done
Congrats on finding a good load for the gun. Nice grouping. It does suck when someone else shoots better than you do with your gun, kind of like them taking the last beer and not saying anything about that either. LOL.
If ever you get bored try 72gr of Varget behind a 110gr Vmax or any other 110gr bullet, Instant Varmint rifle. 4200 + fps I learned that load from Richard Franklin.

Stretch it out to 200 and report back....
