Message: <blockquote data-quote="Master Carper" data-source="post: 2115868" data-attributes="member: 15527">7stw,I have always gotten my best velocity and accuracy using IMR-7828 powder. For primers, some guns prefer Federal 215 Gold Medal Magnum Match and others Winchester LRM. My most consistently accurate bullet is Sierra's 160 gr. B.T.-Spitzer, followed by Sierra's 150 gr. B.T.-Spitzer. Both bullets will stay inside 2" at 600 yds. if I do my part...I bed a Bench Rest follower in the bottom of the Remington action to make it a single shot...I was a Military and Police Firearms Training Instructor for 12 years and had to give it up when I got slammed with arthritis and I could no longer do what was required to properly train but, on ocassion, I still teach the fundamentals of shooting at long-range and extreme-ranges. I am always willing to share my knowledge with others...Very nice shooting on your head shot deer...I use a lot of Dan Lilja's barrels as well as Hart, Pac-Nor, Krieger, Shilen, Bartlein and a few others...Thank you on the Diller. I have to say though, that that was a very lucky shot! I say that, because armadillos very seldom stay put in one spot for more than a second or two and I just settled the cross hairs in the middle of it, touched the trigger and the rest as they say - is history...Do you have a drop chart made for your long-range guns? Do you have a range finder? These two items are a must have for being able to hit your target at any range further than what the gun is actually sighted in at. Mine stay sighted in at 600 yds. and then my drop tables are in 50 yd. increments out to as far as I can "accurately" hit my targets. If you do not have a drop table and you have a place to where you can shoot long range, I can give you simple instructions of making your own drop table. Just let me know....</blockquote>
