I had a BLR in 7 MM Rem Mag. in the early 90's, long before I got into reloading. This BLR with Federal Premium 175 gr. Partitions would shoot a 1" group without a hitch. I sold this rifle because it weighed too much. I just recently bought a BLR Stainless in 325 WSM ( much lighter). I hope that this shoots just as well!!!
