The plan is to use it for elk hunting this fall. I have used every type of powder I have and many different charges and seating depths from book to .04 over (.01 less than touching) and the thing just never tightened up more than 3/4 with win 760 (not taking this out hunting) and never got more than a little over an inch with the worst loads I tried.... It is really strange, I settled on a 7/8 group and book length OAL with 61.7g of H4350... It should be just fine :) It is only 2700 FPS, but with that big of bullet I don't need faster, and the next node almost knocks my shoulder off. :)
