I have a Savage LRPV 1/7. I've messed around with Varget 24gr - 24.5gr mostly jammed and at or very close to the lands, but I can't seem to do much better than 1MOA. Did have a couple of cloverleaf groups but can't seem to duplicate that. Speed seems about right, 2800-2850 fps. I'm going to try jumping them a bit further. Just wondering if you've shot them with success, and what your load is.
Have A Load For Berger 80VLD In A .223?
- Thread starter Redhouse
- Start date
For comparison, the pet load in my Rem 40x in .223 Rem with 1:8 twist McLennan barrel likes the following;
80 SMK (moly)
25.4 Varget
Fed GM205 M
COL ~ 2.51 - 2.515"
Win brass
Last night, a test group of 5 shots at 205m (~223 yards) measured 0.256 MOA with ave velocity of 2,952 fps (meaured with chrono).
