So I fired my first ever 18 rounds of hand loads (7mm Rem Mag, 150 gr TTSX) and I still have my hands and eyes. Shot six 3 round groups at 100 yards. I generally I had more horizontal stringing on groups which I will attribute to not being behind the rifle on the bench (it was jumping right with bipod and rear bag). I need to work on that. One group had some more extreme vertical stringing which was I'm guessing was a soft rear bag that the stock sunk into on recoil. My best group was .51" at 62.9 grains of H4831SC, so that is what I'm going with for this year's deer hunt. I loaded 32 rounds and will be shooting at distance this weekend to get some shots out to 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards to verify where my limits are. So, without further ado, here are my pictures of results of what I did in the reloading room yesterday (actually last Friday)...
