Tack driver. Check.
« on: September 05, 2008, 08:54:46 AM »
New remington 700SPS, 7MM ultra mag, definitely a tack driver.  These are only the second loads I have made, and I'm already at 1" at 200 yards!  The nikon buckmaster 4.5-14 I put on it is an awesome scope.  Super clear.  It has the parralax and eyepiece focus adjustment, amazing clarity at long ranges.  

I'm at the book max of 82 grains of RL-22 over a barnes 160grn TSX at about 3140fps per chrony.  

I was feeling like iron man after shooting the two groups at 200 yards, so I tried at 300 (all lazered) and shot really sloppy.  My first try at 500.... well... let's just say it was my first try and 500, and the rocks put more holes in the target than the bullets did.  




"At least with a gun that big, if you miss and hit the rocks in front of him it'll stone him to death..."
