I main hunt deer here but would love to get out west for elk. We have elk here but to pull a tag is like watching the grass grow…prolly never gonna see it. Oh but those deer are so tasty!
Just measured the group it was .455” I’d bet without coffee on the shooting table I could get it even smaller but I’m happy as all get out with this result. I’m gonna load up 20 and verify this.
I knew this gun was capable of more accuracy!!!! My seating depth was too short @3.28 oal. I haven’t measured it yet but looking like it would take a deer
I have no QL data but it’s always best to work up a load for your rifle with the given components. Here a link right to the VV website 270 page

I’m looking for some edumication on Berger boolits for hunting. I have not used them on game ever but I know Guy and some of the other guys here like them. I hunt from a tree stand in Pennsylvania so shots are not long at all. And yes this is in relation to my 30.06 looking to squeeze more...
Hey Guy… or should we call you Tex cause that there is some nice shootin!!! I am ok with hunting accuracy at 1” especially the distances I shoot game mainly deer unless random coyote pokes his head out of the tall grass. I’m in PA and hunt from a stand in the thick woods so an inch is totally...
That is more long range stuff I shoot 300 and in and mostly 150 or less at deer from a tree stand. I also reload the exact same way for 7 rifles and this one is the only one giving me anything less than 1/2” groups at 100yds. I’m not sure what my neck tension is nor do I for runout. It’s just...
So I have shot 150’s with 4064 and just made a few more to verify. I have some 180 Hornady IL and just picked up yesterday some BT 165’s just haven’t loaded 180 or BT yet
No worries just send me your name address phone number DL number and frozen account info. I’ll get it sorted out and even write you a check out of the money left over …deal!!
Honestly before I go all out and spend several hundred on seating dues Ive got Ramshot BG and hunter I’m going to try first. I also yesterday made an older load of imr4064 with 150gr boolits to see if they shoot tighter
But do you get any benefit in accuracy by using that die?
I honestly like the Forster die cause the case support is asap but I load everything now with RCBS plain Jane and my 308 dies are Hornady custom grade but that gun shoot clover leafs
I agree with this cause I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed so I think you’re right. I’m leaning towards the rifle being the culprit here only cause the others I load for are clover leafs or close enough to it
