[QUOTE="todbartell, post: 27588, member: 1435"] Actually, that RL19 load was better than I'm doing now. That was 5 shots with RL19 that are going as tight as my 3 shot groups now. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I've shot the 120 gr. MK with Varget, but didn't record the group size, only the speed. So I will try it. I've been shooting lately with the laminate stock, but I will switch to my lightweight fiberglass stock, see if that helps. It was supposed to be off to get painted, but I will wait a bit longer now. It has showed to be an accurate platform for my 260 before, but my laminate has too. The laminate weighs 17 ozs. more, and I've found it is much more stable to shoot from the bench. But, I'll hunker down and try the fiberglass. Thanks for the load data. I will load some up with Varget tommorow. Maybe try them seated .020" off. I remember getting 2765 fps with 39.5 grs. last winter, but the accuracy of the load is forgotten. I did notice some wind drift with the 120 gr. MK when the wind was blowing at 335 yards. BC is .409. Lapua 123 gr. is like .547, that is some difference! I'll report back with the Varget results by tommorow hopefully. [/QUOTE]
