[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1403015, member: 103369"] yep. Since 2012 when I picked up that particular rifle, I've tried RE22, 19, and 17. 4831, 4350, h1000, n160, h380 and win760. All were very meh. Now, I have other rem700's, and they all shoot far better than this, so in the midst of this frustration, I decided to blow off some light bullets for a 6.8 that I had sitting around, and saw a load with varget in the book. They shot 1/2 moa. So I tried it with the 130's that I wanted to use. Tiny cloverleafs every time. Later I tried h100v; it shot better than the other slow powders, but still not in the same ballpark as the varget. 200 fps faster though. go figure. nevertheless, I am still interested if anyone knows a scientific reason why this rifle does not favor the powder it should like, but shoots lights-out with a faster powder? anyone?
