I have a Rem 700 VSSF II in a .220 swift, 14" twist and i shoot the 53gr. vmax right at 4000 fps. If you push them fast enough they are sweet, dont plan on skinnin those dogs though....big gory holes haha:D

True. But there is plenty of proof that bergers perform very well on big game, through the shoulder, long range shots. Every bullet has failed before. Some bergers explode some barnes don't open. There's no perfect bullet. I do believe that your best chance at shooting accurately is with a...

A buddy of mine says that the regular tsx (not tipped) bullets group better for him. He tried the ttsx but his groups were no good so he just stuck with his regular tsx. The ttsx has a better bc but it still isn't all that great. Both bullets are great at killing things, they just are hard to...

I was just wondering if there is a way to get an exact muzzle velocity using your readings that you get 10 or 15ft from the muzzle. I'm sure it is a very small difference but the little things are the difference between a kill and a miss at 1000. For instance if I'm 3000 fps at 10ft what is my...

Thanks for the help fellas. I started with h4831sc, 105 bergers, lapua brass, cci br2 primers. I started with 39 grains and went in half grain increments up to 43 shooting 5 shot groups none measured over 3/4 of an inch with a couple groups being about 1/4 inch. 43 grains is lookin good. I...

My savage 12 LRP has a 1/9.25 twist and it will stabalize the 105 berger which calls for a 1/8 twist. So maybe you could stabalize the 95's, you just gotta try them. I shoot h4831sc but my bullet is heavier. If i was you I would first try h4350, lapua brass, 95 bergers and cci br2 primers. I...

I'm looking for an AR to call coyotes with. I want a .223 cal, something short and versatile. I need to be quick and mobile with it so I was thinking a 16 inch barrel or there abouts. Originally I was thinking a Smith M&P but that is pretty tactical. I really just need a basic gun. I may hunt...

My Savage 12 LRP DBM 243 win has a 26 inch barrel and a 9.25 twist so it should stabalize the 105 berger or amax. I know that 4350 or 4831 have been good powders for the 243. But what about the heavier bullets. Is H1000 or even Retumbo worth a shot. What powder do you guys like for the...

Thanks for the advice fellas. I think I might try a 105 berger. BC .532 I believe what do you guys think? I have a elite 4200 on my swift but will a 30 mm tube give me more adjustment for longer shots? And is a BR primer just a cci 200 that is made by their best guys, are they better, more...

243 win. I meant to get it in there. I think I fixed it. Whats your swift load? I would like to push 55 gr nosler bt varmints around 3900 fps

Hello everyone, I am new to the site but have been using the site regularly to get load ideas for my 700 VSSF II in a .220 swift (still haven't quite got it where I want yet, but I will). Anyways my new Savage 12 Long Range Precision rifle in a 243 win (9.25 twist) will be here by the end of...
