    During my drop validation in near perfect conditions I shot 1.5in at 500yds and 2in at 600yds.
    Went to the range in a 5-8mph wind and shot at 600yds inside moa. Take out the roughest shots and would have had 10shots damn close to 1/2moa.
    I’m certainly sticking with this combo, and with some improvements in my loading I believe I can get better consistency.
    Who let you in here?

    I'm using 41gr 2208 with 162gr in my 18inch 7mm08, with great accuracy. Will have to check my COAL as I'm running in a long action, tikka
    Taken animals from 10meters out to 530meters with it.

    I get slight pressure at 41 grains. Got a .6 moa 5 shot group in ladder testing with an es of 4fps so think I'm done for now.
