Unclenick, I've been testing 168 and 175 grn ABLRS for my 7 mauser, but the bullet I really want to shoot for deer are 175 grn SBT Sierra's.
The weather here is cold, 30's or colder.
When I hunt deer its about the same
Two points I might add is that this is a 22" 1:8" twist Shilen barrel in a #3 contour.
Ran into some minor issues, also changing trigger and bolt shroud, and my team is in the big game this weekend so testing put into rest mode for a few weeks.
