Varget should be the awesome sauce.

My son shot this buck at 85 yards. 260 18 inch barrel 44 grains of varget 3300 fps.

His shot placement! Somebody taught this young man to shoot... Y'all were overlooking the shooting spot; tree stand, ridge or ???

Fired 4 rounds with the 85hh, and varget, lapua brass cci200's at 43, 43.5,44 , 44.5 and 45 gr crimped in the 1st groove. 1" cluster at 75 yds. 3156 fps on the 1st shot and then I had chrono issues, so no more readings. 45 gr varget started to flatten the primer a little but not bad. neck of my brass is alittle blackish. thinking about trying fed 215 primers and possibly crimping a little more and see if the chamber will seal then. I think these bullets show promise from this gun for sure.

had forgotten that this old chrono has to be turned off and on between rounds to get a reading, lol low rent operation.

loaded up 3 rounds today, 44.5 gr varget, cci200 primers, 85gr.hh, crimped into the 1st groove up front a little more on the crimp than yesterday. 3 shots 1/2" approx. 100yds. Ok Iv'e seen enough, lol. this charge comes to about the bottom of the neck. bullet is jumping right far too and it doesn't seem to matter. I need to measure the jump just for curiosity, not that it matters. very pleased with this bullet.

We were set up on top of a hill overlooking a little bottom.
