I have a new to me Steyr 7mm-08.
20" bbl, 44.00gn of H-4350, Lapua brass, Federal 210m primer, Hornaday 150gn ELD-X, 2606 ft/s.
3 shot group at 1038 yards, 6.25".
why you shoot odd 1038 yards? and not a even 1000 yards? sounds a bit fishy one might say
That is the distance from bench to target stand. No idea why it is that distance but it is over 1000 so that is all that matters.
The load described is loaded the same care and techniques as my bench rifles. Actually I have 8 perfect brass,in all respects, out of a box of 100 Lapua's
It is a deer rifle with a 6X scope (SWFA).
It was shot in hunter class at our club shoot (for fun), winner put 3 into <3", rifle max. weight <10.5 pounds scope no more than 9X.
