What does it measure vertically? At 500 yards that is way more important. 1 mph of a cross wind can cause horizontal stringing. The vertical measurement is less and that is a good load. 175 SMKs, 178 A-maxes and 44.0+ of Varget go together like peas and carrots.

I really need more practice. I'm happy when I can do that at 100 yards. Good shooting! rifle

Doing all the good, then. Its a zen moment when you can shoot a vertical group, around an inch, at 500 yards.

Actually, I am shooting the Brawl train up in exchange to be a range officer for Jacob. So, yes, I will be there, just not shooting in it. I will be shooting my Surgeon 308 for the train up, though.

Where do you get your Varget? It's been such long time since I've switched to Imr 4064 for my 308.... Varget is just so hard to get.
