Trying to! But to be fair, that is from good bench rest, certainly not off hand. The 700 with this load is an extremely accurate sniper grade firearm.

Is that anything like throwing the BS Flag?

No BS flags here. If you are in the Omaha area and even better a member and ENGC I'd be happy to let you take it for a drive sometime.

Chrony's out of my Rem 700 ADL at ~3110fps. For me this is my tack driver load with 5 shot groupings of less than half an inch at 200yds and 3/4" at 300yds. Considering the bullet size those groupings can't get much tighter.

Forgot to include case trimmed to 2.496, OAL 3.260. Depending on your barrel length, twist rate, headspacing, etc this exact load might not work well for you. Changing the charge +- up to .3gr really didn't affect accuracy that much but changing my OAL in increments of +- .005 changed things considerably when I was building up this load. The other thing I did was to make sure I used brass fired from my 700 and neck sized only. If I had brass form another source I full length sized them, loaded up with 65gr of IMR 4831 and some 150gr softpoints, shot those rounds at pop cans then neck only resized them for my good loads.
 

Hank:
Glad you didn`t take the BS Flag comment in a bad way 00Buck.
Also thanks for the offer to test drive. At the end of last summer I had my first experience with a high grade custom rifle/optics so I know those kind of groups at 300 yrds are certainly doable.
IIRC that particular rig had a price tag a little over 10k, ~  5 for the rifle and another 5 in glass.

Cant figure out ENGC ?
