[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1579629, member: 109229"] Hi all, I've been experimenting with my RRA Varmint A-4 (20" 1:8"). So far, it's gone well and I've been able to squeek out .40 MOA out of a 65 grain Sierra Gameking over 25 grains of Varget (CBTO: 1.867"). This is all well and good but I'd like to start shooting some higher quality, heavier pills and I'm wondering what the recommendations are? Also, Varget has always been my "go-to" powder for my .22 center fires because to be honest, I've never tried anything else. I think I may be leaving something on the table if I don't consider some other propellants. So here is some more info: 1) I want to load to mag length 2) I'd like the bullet to be suitable for hunting. Deer out to 250 yds., Groundhogs to 400 (not too concerned about cost, as I'm not a high volume shooter). Also, I know I should not waste medium game type bullets on groundhogs but I don't really care. So what's the best "heavier" bullet that I can stabilize, load to mag length and hunt with my set up? Also, should I start out with something other than Varget or RL-15? Perhaps H335 or CFE 223? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
