I pulled my Remington 7600 out last night to get a 200 yard zero on it. I run a plain old VXR 1.25x4 with the Leupold #4 reticle. I found a nice load shooting a 225 grain Sierra GK with 58 grains of H4895. That load runs about 2675 from my rifle.
Here’s a shot when I was working up loads for that rifle.

I’ve used the load for a few deer up north in the past but I pulled the scope and needed to rezero. So I took a shot at 50 and it was a bit to the right. Moved it a couple clicks left and moved right back to 200.

Got pretty lucky when I saw the target board. I move .1 mil up and .2 right and shot the next 3.

BAM, I thought to myself, my bolt guns better be paying attention cause this thing wants to hunt!
Anyhow, I punched the numbers into my ballistic ap and it said it should be about 8.8” low at 300 so I figured I’d try it out.
Took aim, center mass on the large dot at 300 and rang it...

Pretty happy overall with the rifle. It’s been a great shooter.
As a note, watch Fotis’s for sale ads... he sells some good stuff now and again!
