Earlier this week I found and purchased a real nice used Nightforce 5-25X56 SFP riflescope for it. I researched some load data for it and last night put together 8 different loads in .5 grain increments. Below is the load info along with a pic of the rifle and a pic of the target. It shoots A LOT better than my results although I was able to make three really good shots! Nosler Brass Nosler 200 Gr Partitions Federal Primers Hodgdon H-1000 powder starting at 76.0 grains When shooting the rounds I fired one round from each load from 1-8 and then worked my way back 8-1 and then back again from 1-8.

Although I bought it for an African plains game hunt I'm probably going to take it deer hunting s couple of times this year. I also want to work up a longrange load for it and take it out and stretch its legs. I think there's a fifteen hundred yard range not too awfully far from me and I think it'll be a hoot to see how it'll perform. Any recommendations for a LR round?
