Hey all, First post here. I've got myself a Remington 700 BDL I use for my primary hunting gun. I've only recently gotten in to reloading, but I've already got sort of a conundrum. This rifle will drive tacks with 150 grain bullets (from the factory or hand loaded) but I have yet to find a 180 grain loading that I can get better than a 6" group with at 100 yards. To be fair, I haven't tried putting my own loads together yet, but I was hoping that someone with experience loading for this rifle might be able to chime in. To give you some idea, so far I've tried factory 180gr loads from Winchester (power-points and accu-bond CT's,) Remington (Core-lokt PSP and RN,) and Nosler (Accubond "Trophy Grade") all with similar results. Any ideas of where I should start? I'm more than happy using the 150's for whitetail, but if I go on another elk or moose hunt I'd much prefer to have a bit more bullet - I've been using a 150gr partition factory load so far, but I feel just a tad under-gunned. Thanks!
