Well my experiment continues. I've recently come across 8lbs of 4064 so I bit. I also got ahold of some of the 125sst's. I tested tonight with the 165 gk and the 125 sst. If I can remember right, The sst was loaded over 44 grains of 4064 and it grouped ok. 2 touching and the other two were not...
I took my 788 out yesterday and tried two loads. I loaded some 165 game kings over 43grains of varget and a regular remington large rifle primer. I loaded the barnes ttsx over 45 grains of varget and the same primer. The sierra grouped pretty nicely considering my shooting platform. The barnes...
I've always liked nosler accubonds and I've had good luck with them in a 270. I like experimenting with different loads. I like the idea of picking up speed with the 125-130 loads with the carbine. Accuracy is my concern there. I also like the thought of the 165 hammering down like Thors hammer...
Well I just happened upon 2#'s of 4895 and 8# of 4064. I bought a couple pounds of varget at a local gun show. I think i'll be alright. I found some 165 game kings too.
Any suggestions on what to expect with the 18", 1 in 10 twist of the 788
I saw those I was thinking about it. My only problem is getting powder. Its really tough to get these days. I wouldn't be opposed to ordering a decent amount of stuff I needed to justify the hazmat maybe some benchrest primers too. Anyone have suggestions on places beside's Natchez, Midway...
Well I originally wanted to hunt with a sierra pro hunter 125 but I could not get it to group well at 100 with the re12 similar powder. I could try 4064 with that combo but I would really rather load a 150 interbond (if I can find them haha)
Hello everyone. First time posting here.
I'm working up a load for deer season in my Remington 788 308 carbine. I tested some tonight with some decent results. I think i've settled on using the 155 amax. I've heard good things about varget and 4064. I've been testing with some of that...
