Berger Hunting VLD...284...180 gr.

[noharleyyet]

Have been experimenting with these primarily for a 7RUM... print ok but not as tight as 150 TSX. Thought I'd try some in 7 Rem Mag out of curiosity so I loaded 3 each a grain apart for the Ruger #1. Haven't chrono'd yet but guessing 2800 FPS.

The cluster is 5 shots, 3 @ 60 gr, 2 @ 61... the top 'flyer' is 61 gr.

100 Yards.

Nice Noharley. i hit the range this weekend also with some test loads for my .308. If i could figure out how to put the pics from phone to website i would. 44.5 grain of BL-C(2) under 165grain Nosler Accubond at 200 yards was just under 1 inch O.D.
Im new to reloading and having a "blast" doing it.

I am sure you have but....been checked for runout? And some gun's like 1/2 gr increments instead of full grain,seating depth and so forth.I have had great luck with Hybrid Target Berger's.

I'd definitely try that at longer range as you are doing well with it. We have had good luck with those using 68 grains of Retumbo as well as around 67 grains of H1000. Both good for around 2850 fps to 2870 fps. 24" barrels.

I tend to jump those a bit and it is blurry, but looks like you are too.
