[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 319765, member: 307"] mrjckelly, Glad to hear that it's coming together for you. It's definately a confidence builder for me when I find that amazingly accurate load. Once I find one accurate load I soon start thinking about another bullet/powder to try, hoping to find another. I've been shooting my .243 Win 70 Heavy Barrel Varmint rifle all summer for groundhogs and crows, first with 65gn V-Max's and Varget then with 75gn Hornady HP's and IMR4895.
