[QUOTE="EricNC, post: 1679780, member: 110786"] Thanks for the votes for Varget. I'll definitely try it out. Been playing out to 1200 yards with the 180 SMKs for a couple of years. 180 g SMK "pointed", 43 grains of Hybrid100V, Tula LR primer, LC brass = about 2500 fps out of the 21" barrel, 2630 fps out of 26". The idea behind the 21" barrel (also fluted) was to drop some weight and make the rifle easier to field carry. LRI in SD did the barrel work (cut down from 26" and aggressively fluted). I wanted to keep velocity up but still get a high BC for the weight and get out to 1200 yards staying supersonic - therein the switch to 165 GC's. Also, I liked what I saw on Johnny's reloading Youtube site on the new GameChangers. I think I found a nice combo for long range work. [/QUOTE]
