Hi Guys and Gals, FYI here's the load I worked up for winter.
Use at your own risk.
Lapua brass
42 gr of Varget
180 gr Hor SSTs
CCI magnum primers
COAL 2.76 in
2590 fps at -20 C (all ammo cooled to ambient outdoor temp)
Savage Model 12 VLP DBM
No significant signs of pressure. Will probably work up to 43 gr of Varget in time, depending on pressures.
Best groupings so far 3/4 MOA at 195m at 42 gr. Going shooting today with 42.5 and 43 gr. Temp will be about -7C today.
