lighter 777 powder loads?

[steelhead]

does anyone find they get better accuracy out of their gun using loads under 100grs of t7 loose?

I get great accuracy from 80gr to 115gr out of my Omega with 777

i shot this 3-shot group at 50 yds w/ my knight mk-85, 4x nikon scope, 80 g. by volume 2F 777, 250 g. xtp, and black mmp sabots.

i PROMISE that shot to the bottom right was a different group ... :wink: :wink:

My pet load is a Triple 7 209 primer and 90 grains of 3F Triple Seven and a Knight 290 grain Ultra Slam (Barnes) bullet.

It's nice to get ideas about loads from others but remember, your rifle is probably slightly different. Your best bet is to try them for yourself and see exactly what your rifle likes. Probably close to someone elses but likely not exactly the same. Good luck.

thanks guys,another guy told me to drop down to around 85-90 grs of t7 and i would get a lot better accuracy with a wider variety of bullets and still have plenty of knockdown power out to 150 yards+.
