Worked up the same load you describe in a buddys sendero. Only differnce is our velocity average was 3225fps. Accuracy was 3/4" at 200 yards.

I used 3.660" as our OAL, that could be the reason for the little higher MV.

I'm not going to worry about 100fps difference as I feel that's insignificant and can be attributed to so many different reasons. As for COL, I played with varying seating depths, but found the sweet spot for my gun at 3.635. Anyway, I have a sub-moa load for this beast. Now it's time to get some long range target practice in to verify the bullet drop compensating feature of my Nikon scope.

Very true, 100fps is nothing. Accuracy over velocity any day. How for you going to be stretching her out to??

Being that I have no long range shooting experience, I'm going to limit myself to about 300 - 350 yards for the time being. When I get more experience, I'll stretch it out to maybe 400-450.

Sight in about 3" high at 100 and your good to go! Hold dead on everything out to those yardages. You'll soon find out how easy it is to shoot the big ol 300 at longer ranges. Its almost to easy w/ the cartridge.
