Reply With Quote30 gr of varget and a berger 105 hybrid or VLD jammed .002 into the.lands
I wanted a centerfire benchrest gun but, everything I looked at was out of my reach. Then I found (for an affordable price to me) a Savage F-Class in 6mm Norma BR. I was a bit apprehensive about "used with benchrest accuracy" but, I knew the price left me with enough to replace barrel if necessary. Bought some Hornady dies (don't like them) and Lapua brass and had 95gr Sierra & 105 A-Max from my 243. So then I made generic loads (29gr. Varget) and went to range this morning. Didn't take chronograph because I just wanted to see if it shot ok (no major problems).
I'm pleased!

30.5g varget or RL-15 CCI BR 4s 105g berger hybrid jammed to .020 off.
I have the same rifle, right out of the box with no mods not even bedded. Mine likes 105 Berger hybrids with 29.2 RL15 & CCI 450 in Lapua brass.
Buying used is smart and if it were me I would buy a great quality barrel along with some bedding and off to the races.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
Very nice. Mine still has hope but, yours needs very little if anything to compete.....Originally Posted by cs700

Some has to do with the shooter too, well done!

The only range I have to shoot 600 yards is over 100 miles away. I used this rifle & load twice this year in their factory class bench rest. 1 first place & 1 second place with there being 1 point different between the 2 scores. Might have shot better if the rifle had a better shooter on the trigger.
