[QUOTE="coachA, post: 1274591, member: 66667"] I have actually worked up a load in my hunting rifle this season. They produced a .485 group at 200 yards with Varget powder, seated 0.013 off the lands. I cant remember the exact charge but I do have it written down in my reloading binder. I will put the actual charge that i used on here hen I get to the house later. I was very pleased with the precision of the groups but I wasn't too happy with the speeds I was getting. I was getting 2425 to 2440 fps. I do understand that the short barrel I have could be a big issue when it comes to get more speed to. I am shooting a rifle that my cousin put together, it has an 18" Criteron barrel with a Teludyne straight jacket and Teludyne muzzle break. I dont figure I will be getting great speed with that length of barrel but I am going to try as long as the accuracy doesnt drop. I was hoping I could work up a faster load. I plan to try different powders as soon as our season is over. [/QUOTE]
