Thanks everybody for your help in getting me started with reloading.I put together a batch of 270 loads for my Rem 700 Mountain Rifle. First group of the day was 53.5gr and it was en route to a 0.5MOA group until the flyer made it 1MOA at 100 meters. 54.0gr was a decent hunting accurate load. I think I pulled two of the shots, but otherwise it could be also a decent 1MOA load with higher velocity. 54.5gr seems to open up more, and look like a 1.25-1.5MOA group. All are accurate enough for hunting.
Next step is to neck size the brass for increased accuracy after fire-forming. I will load up more 53.5gr and 54.0gr and shoot them at 100 and 200 meters now. Also will chronograph for velocity. Looks like I'll have a good whitetail and mule deer load for the fall!
This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine...
