As Tim Taylor said, "More power".

A range memory of sighting in my 7mm...trying to decide which factory load, which bullett weight. Doing several groups of five, 100 yards. Also wanting the rifle to shoot 1" high at 100, figuring that would be a good picture out to 300 for hunting purposes.

This particular Ruger shot the various groups, despite up to 30 grains of bullet weight dfferences, all within 5 inches of each other. My buddy, looking at the target: "If you ever decide to sell this rifle, call me first."

I eventually settled on a Norma load...
