[QUOTE="436, post: 336912, member: 16609"] I use a M700 with a 28.5" barrel 1-8 twist in a .222 Rem Mag for LR shooting. The rifle was a LR in .223 Rem originally; I decided to re-chamber and use the .222 Rem Mag case for the longer neck and picking up a little powder over all with the heavy bullets. I shoot 80gr Berger and Sierra Mk's in it, it's great at 1000 yards the accuracy is superb under 0.50" MOA at 100 yards all day long. My load is; 80gr. Sierra or Berger Remington case Remington 7 1/2 BR primer VV N-150 {26.2grs} OAL 2.602" Vel's 3020 fps second load 80gr Sierra or Berger Remington case Remington 7 1/2 BR primer Varget {26.5grs} OAL 2.602" Vel's 3025 fps. 436 [/QUOTE]
