Well it sounds to me like your friend knows his rifle vary well, alot more of this kind of dedication to learning the weapon will pay off for many others.

I have a 7 Ultra Mag (which I call a COBRA Mag because it strikes back fast and sharply like a cobra).

I used Remington 140 or 160 NPs and got 3 shot groups at 100 yards that were all touching, so I guess that's no bigger than .5MOA. It is a Remington BDL SS and wears an Elite 4200 4x-16x-40mm AO.

Not bad for a stock rifle with factory ammo eh?

I own a factory 7 ultra in the Rem 700 LSS. Topped with a bushnell elite 4-12 scope. I shoot the 140 gr partition factory load which chrono's at about 3475 fps and shoots right around an inch groups @ 100. 3 shots. I also handload a 150 partition on top of Rem brass, 95 gr RL25, Fed 215 Primer. This load chrono's at around 3450 fps and shoots about 3/4 in groups at 100 yds. Very flat shooter. Please don't use my load without working up to your max for your rifle. Every rifle is different. What is ok in my gun might blow someone else's up. Be safe and work up from well below. Some say that RL25 can give sudden pressure spikes with small increases in charge weight so proceed cautiously. I did. I get no ejector marks on my brass and the primer pockets are still tight after 3 reloads. That is not a scientific study but thats as far as I've been so far.
