[QUOTE="Robertmreese, post: 1439200, member: 45768"] When i was shooting service rifle, my standard load was 24.5 gr Varget with Sierra 77s (moly) in Winchester and WCC headstamped cases. it was a great shooter at our 200 yard course. During development, using a rest and bags i had several 10 round groups below .750 at 100 (iron sights, no wind). I also used it the few times i was able to shoot 600, and it did well. Second the recommendation above to prep your brass: i selected cases within a few grains of each other, with minimal neck thickness variation, and all were treated to flash hole reaming and primer pocket uniforming. Hope this helps: i have always been able to get Varget to run well for me with multiple bullets. Berger 73, Hornady 75, etc. Good luck [/QUOTE]
