I have the rem 700 with heavy barrel 24" i think. I use Varget with the 50gn V-Max with great success. IDK about 300 yds groups but it does a fine job on prairie dogs at that distance. It does put 10 shots inside a quarter @ 100 yds all day long

Gentlemen, I hope this is the correct place for this topic, if not I'm terribly sorry. I just got this rifle put together with the stock and bedrocked, free floated from the recoil lug forward, Just got the scope mounted and I'm in the process of working up some good handloads but i'm a little...

Thanks for the reply All the cases are 2.605 in length and the doughnut is a small bump at the bottom of the case neck that does not get sized down with the rest of the neck.. I suspect that to be the cause of my problem and have since adjusted the die to size all the way to the shoulder...
