I am working up some loads for 1,000 yards. Testing today at 600 yards using 42.5g Varget and 175SMK gave me a 2 inch group. I do not have access to a chronograph at this time. I am using LC brass trimmed to 2.0 and OAL of 2.800.

I have read that shooters loading 44.5g (or slightly more) of Varget and working well.

What are your experiences (and grains) loads using 175SMK for 1,000 yards?

Would I be good to go using 42.5 or should I continue to slowly increase my loads?

Much Appreciated
