so that is positive. Gonna try some viht n140 when I can get some. Recommended from Walt at Berger for the 70s and 73s.
Speaking of which, my initial OCW testing on those is promising. Using Varget, and checking POI I shot 18 rounds inside a quarter with 3 different Varget charges from 24.0, 24.5, and 25.0 (Berger says 24.8 is max, so watch for pressure signs) on both the 9 shots for the 70s and the 9 shots for the 73s. Each of those groups were touching each other (25.0 with the 73s pushed it outside of a nickel).
Gonna do 24.3, 24.5, and 24.7 now to validate and then mess with the lengths. Used 2.340 for the 70 and 2.375 for the 73 which put it at the lands.
Also, I have had better luck with the Nosler CC 77grains then the Amax's oddly enough. I have those shooting 5/16th without playing around with OAL. 24.8 Varget. The bergers both have better Ballistic Coefficients thought so I am gonna just use the rest of the box for foulers.
Email me at jjkuchar at gmail and I can shoot the excel spreadsheet I am using.
Hope this help some people.
