Remington 700 308 Winchester Sako Black 85 308 Winchester Both of these guns group the 155 Scenar exactly the same, 1 ragged hole, to the same point of impact at the same velocity, 2900 fps. The guns could be swapped and the target would look the same. Borden 300 WSM 155 Scenar @ 3250 fps, MOA @ 100 yards. Not as tight as I prefer but it doesn't do any worse. 150 Accubond @ 3285 fps, MOA @ 100 yards. Both shoot same point of impact. Loads can be swapped with no change in point of impact. I am actually pretty pleased all things considered. The Borden is wearing a Swarovski with turrets. It'll be my Antelope rig next time out. DirtFarmer tells me that MOA is good enough. In fact, most of you discerning shooters tell me the same. I have had a hard time settling with MOA. I mush prefer 1/2 of that. ScenarShooter leaves us no doubt the bullet will perform. I am looking very forward to finding out first hand. Has another scope been tried on the Borden?

It has roughly 80 shots on it. The powder charge is 64.5 VV 550. It shoots both bullets equally. What are you thinking?

Scopes don't always go all or nothing. One symptom is known good rifles shooting groups larger than they should. I appreciate that input. Never really considered that. I always expect my junk to shoot 1 ragged hole in the end. Aggregate group from 3 powder charges, 2 bullets was 1.5". For now it'll just have to be acceptable. My shooting range is a 45 mile round trip. Been there for the last 7 or so days. Need a break. As to the non heavy duty scope, I plan to move that optic to my 280 AI soon. It's running 140's at 3200 fps. Shouldn't be a tough load for that scope. What's your recommendation for a worthy optic on the 300?

This is probably most of them, other than some antelope and a few elk and deer that buddies shot with my rifles on loan. Last edited by SnowyMountaineer; 12/21/17.
