Below is two 4 shot groups with 92.5 H1000, 300grn Bergers .080 off the lands!
I have promised many I would post the pictures of my targets.
Again, I took a Savage 7mm mag and installed a McGowen 30" 338 Edge barrel!
The pictures below is my targets @ 100yds
This picture is my target @ 300yds. Yes, that is a quarter next to the 92.5 group!
Cleary, 92.5grns (either Retumbo or H1000) is the load for my gun. Look at the difference between 92.1 and 92.7! 2,813fps is my avg speed! 300grn Lapua Scenars seem to shoot the best, but Bergers run a close second! I also shot some Bergers .080 off the lands and had some decent groups as well! I might try a few more just to see!
My 338 Edge doesn't like any bullet close to the lands!

Believe 92.5 of Retumbo is your new load.
Have you tried any SMK's yet? Just curious. I don't know if they would improve your groups.
Yes I have tried the SMK's, and they do shoot pretty good! I will find a target picture and post it as well!

Now I will be looking for a load for a 225 to 250grn bullet!

Dennis, 92.5gr H1000 ended up being my hunting load this year. I loaded them to mag length so they were well, well off the lands. Most of my targets look about the same as yours. Never got a "1 hole" group, but always 1" or less total edge 2 edge. I chronoed 5 rounds while on the hunting grounds and got 2798,2796,2794,2796,and 2794fps. Pretty darn good if you ask me!
I took this 3X3 this year, trying to keep the gene pool clean.

Not too much difference in our FPS!!!
PS: Let me know if you need help keeping the pool cleanI took this 3X3 this year, trying to keep the gene pool clean.

Any load suggestions on using a lighter bullet?

I have some Hornady 250gr HPBTs and 300gr Berger Hybrids I am going to eventually try. I will let you know if I find some thing good.
What part of the world is that in?Originally Posted by 319
there are parts near me that look almost like that, but not quite.
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience
Nice, I would need my four wheeler!

That's an awesome 300 yd group, Dennis!
That is Western ND, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, before all the oil traffic any way.
The 4 wheeler is really handy to have out there!
