I should mention that I did a ladder test at 200 yards using 107 SMK from 27.5- 30.8 of Varget total group size was 1.8" but I could see 2 nodes and I picked the lower one's middle which id 29.3 grain. The 2 nodes that showed had vertical in the .0's at 200 yards!
No seating depth test's preformed,, just slight'y jamming them.
I was up against a Canadian bench rest shooter using a 30br with left port Nesika action Krieger barrel all custom stuff, and a couple other benchrest guy's with the tricked out 6 ppc's,, other 6br's 6.5's and a Savage FTR .223 on the line.
Conditions were pretty tough though, changing mirage that was heavy and 2-5 mph variable winds that went left right head and tail at times,, I won buy waiting for the flags to indicate light breeze and not shooting much during a boil.
The parts used for this setup is:
Short action 4.4 center feed model 10
Rifle Basic comp trigger set to 4 oz.
Savage F-class factory stock 4.4 screw space, (not bedded yet)
Sightron 36X target scope
Factory recoil lug
Factory barrel nut
Lapped lugs
Ejector removed
Bolt lift kit can't remember if I got it from Dean or Dennis,.38 case and ball bearing
Bartlien 5R .237 .243 8 twist chambered in 6BR Norma, and throated optimally for 105 gr. bullet's
I will be shooting Berger bullet's when I get my new stock of Varget and primer's.
