[QUOTE="GuroChris, post: 1996192, member: 113578"] Yup, factory varmint barrel with a 12 twist. Like I said I don't have my notes on me, I'm just going off of a sometimes flawed short term memory. I'll have to check later. I have the rifle and kit packed up for a work trip but where I'm going I'll have access to a really good 1200yd range, not that I'll shoot that far. But, I have several rounds of ammo to shoot groups at 42.2 grains and hopefully verify that decent group. I also have 15 rounds loaded at 43.2 grains but with seating depths changing by 10 thou increments for a range of 50 thou. Then I have 10 more rounds for charge weight testing from 43.5 grains to 45.3 grains in .2 grain increments to test the higher end of the charge weights in the manual, which if i remember right tops out at 45.9 for a compressed load. So, I'm going to try several bits of advice from the thread. And, while I'm on the road I'm going to stop at a couple of spots to try and find some Varget. [/QUOTE]
