Thread: Load development in the SI

Hey thanks for the replies

Everything is tight and snug where it should be. VX3i 4-14 scope is new

My previous .308 was a Rem700 s/s. It had a couple of inches on my Kimber which is 15" with a greystone can but was reliably hitting a 200 x 200 gong out to 600m, knocked over animals from 100 to 500m with a 165gr HPBT on 40.5gr of 2206h pushing 2650fps. The bulk of my hunting shots are 150-300m but I do get out target shooting gongs a bit to check wind drift and shooting at different angles affect my POI because its nice to know it can reach out a bit further if I need to.

Its been a bit different shooting my Kimber in comparison to my Rem 700 which is a fair bit heavier but i've put plenty of rounds through the Kimber and feel comfortable with my shooting but perhaps I need to put in some more time to get used to the rifle.

I may just be chasing the unreachable dream with this set up but would like to think it would shoot sub 1" reliably.
