7mm-08 help needed
I'm somewhat new to reloading and could use some pointers. I have a savage 7mm-08. I have been working on some loads for whitetail hunting using Varget and Sierra Gamekings (140 gr). I have not had good success with groups. I have tried playing with seating depth a bit as well as charge. Groups at 130 yards have been about 4". I have also developed some loads using 100 gr sierra HP's. These group quite well, but about 5" above and 2" left of the Gamekings. Also I made some loads with 139 gr Hornady SST's. These were off the paper, shooting much lower than the other two loads. All loads were made using varget at near max charge and following the reccomended OAL measurements, shooting distance was 130 yards. Does this difference in point of impact sound reasonable? Also, should I continue to work with the Gamekings, or just count them out. I'd like to have at least a couple loads, Varnmit and Whitetail with the same point of impact. Any suggestions?
