[QUOTE="leecheater, post: 1909770, member: 104356"] Hello All, I am a long time lurker. I really appreciate the knowledge here. I still consider myself novice. I know I have a lot to learn. Been reloading 223 for prairie dogs and coyotes. I finally got my Magnetosport Sporter fired up yesterday. The fps were a range from 2670-to-2790. I am shooting 55 grain Nosler ballistic tips with 24.5 grains of Varget with my Tikka T3x. Using CCI 400 small rifle primers. I am picky about COAL. We did do some ladder loads, with less and more powder. We have found this load to be the one the Tikka likes the best so far. My question, should I be even more picky about the Varget grains? Will making every load exactly 24.5 (or other) help make me more accurate? My Lee Precision Loader is pretty accurate but if I weigh 10 powder drops they do vary a bit. It could be 24.3 up to 24.7. Is this going to make much difference in shooting out to 300 yards? Thanks [/QUOTE]
