Hello folks,
Got a question. I have found a very good load for my .30-06 Rem 700 bdl, 22" barrel, with 50.7 grains of Varget(max load), PMC primers, and the (new)155 Palmas or the 155 Amax. This load is running about 2800fps at sea level.
Previously I had been using H4350 with light to heavy bullets and Rl-22 with heavier bullets and I never got the accuracy that I did with the Varget combo.
I have always heard that a full case of powder is conductive to low ES and SD, but this load give me 5 shot avgs in the single digits.
What is the reason for this? I have even done experimentation by tipping cases forward or backward before firing, without much variation or accuracy degradation.
Any thoughts on why Varget with that much free space works so well?
