So far my favorite handload is a 58gr V-Max followed by as much Varget as your brass and particular rifle can handle. Laser flat out to about 400 and do a good job on the 'yote.

Can't speak for factory. Haven't bought any for quite some time.

I've had pretty good luck experimenting with 87 grain V-Maxes, with 42.0 gr. H-4350. All normal precautions, as to working loads up for your own rifle pertain here!!!! But, this load shoots well in my Remington 700, & my girlfriends Savage 11! I whacked a Coyote with that load last winter @ close to 300 yards, & he didn't travel far to his demise! I'm like "boots", haven't bought or shot much factory fodder in years! Idaho-45

How much wind do you live in? if its not windy boots has the best advice with the 58! if you live in windy country 15 + mph all the time a 70-95 gr bullet will probly work best. I can t use 58gr because i have more wind drift than drop LOL

The 65gr Vmax's are even better than the 58gr from my experience.

darkker: I also use these powder(s) with great success in my .243s with 80/85/87 gr bullets. Have you tried them with the 100 grainers? Too fast?
