LAST EDITED ON Dec-02-09 AT 12:56PM (MST)[p]Drygulch.... when I was exprimenting with loads I shot 38 grains of Varget powder behind a 40gr Nosler ballistic tip pill sparked by CCI benchrest primers and got right at 4000fps... it was smokin hot and super accurate in one of my model 700 Rems.with 24in barrel. I am now using a Rem 700 lvsf with a 22in barrel so I resorted to the factory Rem 55gr. softies and the accuracy is as good as any handload I shot before, this little rifle is by far my favorite of my varmint weapons and most accurate & deadly.
