[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 1439129, member: 12911"] I can agree with changing the bullet to something you know works first. I think you can be safe with the 69 grn Sierra MK. I never had a great deal of luck with Varget and I put my 223 together with the 69 MK and the 69 Nosler Comp bullets on top of RL15. There are newer powders out there that seem top be better suited to solid bullets and temp extremes. I don't have anything with a 1in8 twist but I have 1in9 and 1in7 and the 69's work well for me. The 80 grain stuff is too long for my AR's to feed from a Mag so they are shot 1 at a time through the side port and only at the 600 yard targets. I will suggest that you check at the NRA and Camp Pendleton High Power Competition sites as the load that you are suggesting is common for their long range shooting. They will have a lot of practical experience with what you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
