The rifle is a bolt Rem.700 LTR 308 Cal. I mark the cases so they are sitting in the chamber at the same exact position, reload after reload. Just in case the chamber was not cut exact. It maybe overkill,if your are careful in making the rounds exact in every way, shooting style the same,why not place the round in the chamber in the same position. slowes up the pase and lets the barrel cool. I use Winchester brass, Fed. match primers,IMR 4064 42.0 Gr. Sierra 168 Gr. HPMK,OAL 2.800. 200 yards is max. at the ranges on LI NY. The LTR has a 20" brl. it groups 1/2 - 3/4 at that distance. Looking only for target loads, not hot. The vol. is 2474 out of the 20''brl. still it's pretty accurate. It's a stock rifle except for a jewell trigger 10 oz. I bed the action with devcon, it's a fun weapon to shoot.
