Jackmountain,

I normally shoot 120 gr. nbts out of my 7mm-08 but picked up the 150 gr. scenars to try out. They were on sale so why not have some fun. 41.0 grains is the best so far using the Big Game/150 gr. Scenar combination out of a Tikka.

I accidentally left the 41.5 grain load at home when I went out to shoot that day and still haven't gotten a chance to try it out in my T3x. So I don't know if the group would have been tighter than the 41.0. I suspect so, because the 40.0 and 40.5 groups went larger to smaller then this one at 41.0 (which isn't anything to write home about, but considering the others is a huge improvement).

That first shot is an honest pull. I can still 'see' it through the scope and 'feel' it in my trigger finger. Pardon the messy field scribblings on the target.
