I've been working up loads @ 100Yds for my new Rem 700 Mtn LSS 7MM-08 which I just got this past spring. Shot my first 200Yd groups today and am quite pleased with the guns performance.
I shot this 1.67" CTC group at 200Yds shooting 140Grn Sierra Game King SBT's on top of 43.5Grn Varget and using a Burris 3-9X40 Ballistic Plex scope. Average velocities at 10 ft from barrel were 2,860 FPS. This was my best group of the day with other 200Yd groups averaging just a little less than MOA.
I have been getting 1/2" CTC groups at 100Yds with the 140 Game Kings using a Simmons 6.5-20x50 Whitetail classic, but using the 3-9x40 Burris 100Yd groups were about MOA. I was sighted in dead on at 100Yds and this group was shot using the first (200Yd) aim point on the ballistic plex reticle.
The vast majority of my shots on deer are 150Yds or less and I really like being able to sight in dead on at 100Yds and then being able to use the 200, 300Yd aim points if I need to. Being sighted in dead on at 100Yds allows me to "thread the needle" through brush a lot better than if I was sighted in 2 to 3 inches high.
Now it's time to get some off-hand, sitting, kneeling, leaning against a tree, etc. practice in between now and deer season. Just a few more months!!!
I can hardly wait!!!!
