    New load and some long range shooting

    I have a 7 SAUM that I put together for ELR shooting. APR did the barreled action. Overall its been amazing, I worked up a load for 180 grain ELD Match. Shooting good but wanted to play with lighter load. I grabbed a box of 162 ELD Match bullets. Ended up getting them to 3327 average with SD of 10 FPS. Absolutely screaming fast. 2nd batch was 3343 with 32 fps SD. The group was shot with the 2nd load. Shot little over 0.5 MOA group really fast in some nasty heat with 12mph wind at 820 yards. I bet the other load would have gone .3-.4 MOA. Which is right where the 180s shoot but took me 1.4 mils less than the 180 load to get there. I can't wait to get this to a mile.

    Its down there some place


    Phone zoomed as much as it can go. Center of pic you can see the orange box.


    There is the group. a hare under 5" in vertical spread. Barrel was very hot.
