Anybody else using a magnum medium bore for varmints?

I shoot a Sendero SF in 7MMSTW shooting 120 grain Ballistic Tips at 3650 fps. Makes a nice mess of rockchucks!

Reloader 66 and others.

The records that Boyd is referring to are the Original World record 10 shot groups from the Williamsport 1000 yard benchrest club.

The 10 shot "World Record" for Heavy gun is 3.151" and the 16 1/2Lb Light Gun "World Record" (10 SHOT) IS 4.5".

The groups you are referring to are those of the IBS light gun record which is a "5 shot" group of 1.5".

The first 5 shot string of 1.5" has been accomplished several times at Williamsport over the years but, we shoot 10 shots for record so it never counted.

Just thought you would want to know, A MOA at 1000 yards is a tad over 10".

500grs, Thats what its all about.Your frind cooked his barrel after five hundred rounds, great. I bet after thouse five hundred rounds he was a much better shot. Gun barrels are cheep but a good rifle shot is hard to come by.
