[QUOTE="ricciprice, post: 117485, member: 5342"] I have a reworked 700 with a 26in. 1in9" varmint contour Benchmark barrel I have only shot 120grn. bullets in it. I have got a long throat also, but I still load to fit inside the mag. box OAL 2.820, this gives me aboat .200 of run. I found out real quick it likes it hot as compaired to book loads. It is a real hummer with IMR4064,4350,4831, my best group was with 38grns. 4064 but it did flattened the primers with this powder more so than a compressed load of 4350. But,I think the 4350 is a little better for the barrel (slower burning) I still haven't flattened a primer with 4350 and thats with a compressed load of 47grns. proceed with caution ecspecially if you are seating out further. It seems as the faster it goes the better it shoots. Been shooting the nosler bal. tip, and seirra flat based 120's necked up 243 rem. cases and 200 cci's & and 9.5 remington primers (tried the magnum primers, with no swayed effects). I felt like I was pushing the limit also but after shooting in this 95-100 degree florida weather I think it is still on the safe side. All powders are IMR. [/QUOTE]
