Got back from the range this morning and the result is acceptable I
think.
The rifle is a Remington 700 classic, bone stock, with a leupold 3-9 x
50. The load will be: win. case, CCI 200 primers, 44.4 gr of Viht. N-
160, Berger 140gr VLD Hunting seated at .010 off the lands. I'll post a
pic of the target later, but it gave me a 0.754 five shot group at 100
yards.

From bottom left going clockwise are 44.0, 44.2, 44.4, and 44.6 grain charges.  The middle group are what I had left from before I went into the ARMY.
