I just picked up my 700P and was wondering if anyone had any good loads to try in her. What brand of dies should I get? Thanks!

You might try 168gr SMK, CCI BR2, Win Brass, 46 gr Varget, 2.800 OAL. That load shot 1/2 MOA in my LTR.

I'm a fan of Lee dies, especially the collet neck sizing dies.

As always, this load may or may not be safe in your rifle...

You'll have to work up a load. No two rifles, even two with consecutive serial numbers, will shoot the same ammo the same way.
The brand of dies doesn't matter. I'm partial to RCBS and/or Redding though.
When you get that far, think 165 grain hunting bullets and 168 or 175 grain match bullets with IMR4064 or Varget. The 165's will give you a load that will kill any game you care to hunt. The 168's for distances up to 600 yards. The 175's past there. Mind you, match grade bullets aren't cheap.

my 700 Police has a ridiculously long throat on it...so you can seat them out real far..but check first...168 and 175 with 44.5gr of varget work for me...i'm at 2.840 OAL...and use redding dies

True, but at least this gives me a starting point to try. Thanks guys!

I use 168 grain Sierra Matchkings with 43.5 grains IMR4064.

168 grain Sierra Matchkings with 44 grains of Varget ...shoot dimes all day.

I'm finding good success with 175Grain Matchkings being pushed by 44.5grains of Varget.
