    Bit of an update from me, ive since tried both the sierra 63gr SMP and the 65gr Gamekings, the 18" mod 7 shoots them both really well, the 65gr SGKs shot a 1 inch group at 200 yds without load development.

    I also loaded up 5x 65gr SGKs to try in my 8 twist tikka, 25.5gr of 2206H at 10 thou off the lands, ended up shooting a 1/2" group at 300 yards! Will load some more to test further.

    I'm sure the 4.5-30x56 Delta Stryker HD helped with that!! ;-)
