[QUOTE="Allen, post: 134930, member: 389"] Thanks PG, I haven't given it the sniff test but will later today. Sub, yeah...my 7 is in a Remington model 700 platform. And it does indeed shoot them well, at least well enough for me as I know how subjective that expression can be. With no wind and a cheap rest, I have shot about an inch and a half group at 100 yds. About the only rounds that I've ever noticed a huge difference in were some Winchester Power Points I tried quite a few years ago. Those things shot consistently 4 inches to the right and about the same high when compared to other rounds. I still don't understand the to the right part of that one. Seems like as long as I stay about 0.1 off the lands that this rifle is pretty forgiving and if I get closer than that the bolt's been a little sticky to open at times. That's made a bigger difference than just about anything other than the PP rounds. Enslow, yeah...according to the reload specs of Barnes they should coast along at near 3,100 ft/s at even the minimum powder load and be around 3,400 ft/s at the max. I tend to stay a little below the max and haven't chronographed it though. Barnes is now also making a 110 gr TTSX for the 0.284 offerings with claims of around 3,550 ft/s at the max loads for a good variety of powders. The SD and ballistic coefficients on that round are pretty crappy and make me less inclined to go after more speed. All this kind of confirms my choice to load a bunch when I find a set load/bullet combo that performs decently. [/QUOTE]
