This was my first attempt....conditions dictated that it was tough to keep things tight.

That and I might try another rifle

so these were a couple 5 x5's i shot weekend before last. the heavy barrel groups were from my 700, but the ammo was some left over tailored for a heavy barrel sako i sold a while back. this rifle will do the agg with the brass now formed to the chamber and loaded with what it likes.
the 788 groups were shot with my 'production' ammo for gophers and coyotes, i use this load in 5 duces here, and will do gophers to 300, 8 out lf 10 shots with all the guns.
with a tailored load the 788 will meet the challenge as well.
the production ammo comes off my dillon 550, using imr 4198; not the most user friendly for powder throwers. seating depth is down at book spec.
these groups were fired on a nice day, no wind, and both aggs were shot inside 20 minutes, from target stapling to guns put away.
got some more loads together last night, trying some new powders for the heavy barrel, will post that if i get a chnace to shoot this weekend. lee
