2.067" is an excellent group for sure.

Few or maybe 2? years back, the then-current record was broken by a man with a .30 Bauer or Bayer or something like that - on the 8x68S case, using a 187gr. FB match bullet, I'd thought. I saw a picture of the group but unfortunately, I didn't save it to my computer. 4 out of 5 were in 1 1/4". It was something like 1.785" or maybe 1.875"(1-7/8") for 5 shots at 1,000yards.

The next year, which might only have been last summer (memories fuzzy on that), that record was broken with a 5 shot BR, 1,000yard group of around 1.375" and I thougth, again, with a 187gr. FB from a .30 Bauer. I might be wrong on the calibres and ctgs. names - dabnabbit - fuzzy memory.

Interestingly enough, maybe, seems to me the world record .50 cal. group record at 1,000 yards today, is just over or around 3.0".

Even so, that's terrific shooting - imagine.

Years ago, a close friend of mine won the 1,000yard 3-shot BR match at Burns Lake BC (shot on the lake's frozens surface) with his .300 H&H mag. using his #1 Ruger, no less with a 3-9X scope. He just would not believe me when I told him he should have bought a mess of lottery tickets - his 3 shot group was 1.625", that's 1 5/8". Sometimes the planets align and wierd things happen.

I do not know what the .338 Lapua's are doing but recoil wears shooters down, which is why there is a push for efficient, smaller rounds.

I would personally stay with the AR and Reloader series powders. WW760 can create larger swings with temperatures. Larger swings in speed and pressure usually effect accuracy in a negative manner.

In ctgs. that do well with Varget and H4895, I tend to stay with them - nice level ballistics.
