[QUOTE="Idaho Shooter, post: 490824, member: 22303"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I have a standard M4 with a 16 barrel. A few summers ago, I spent three months formulating the perfect combo and ended up with CCI 400 primers, 55gr. Moly Vmax bullets, Winchester cases and 24.5grs of Varget. My best five shot group at a 100yrds was 3/8”i.e. one raggedy hole. Because of part swapping, I ended up re-sighting in the rifle and somehow ended up shooting paper plates at 595yrds. I shot a few rounds of miscellaneous stuff out of my range bag and couldn’t hit the 2x4’ backstop. I then found ten rounds of my Varget loads. The first five shot grouped at 3.5” and the second at 4.5 “.
