Try some H335 with a 20g V Max seated right at the lands with a Rem 7.5 primer.

Try Saubiers (small caliber)

N133 and 25 grain V-Max are your friends. I have two Furball barrels, 10tw and 9tw, and they both shoot accurate and fast with that combo.

Both of you guys have posted here. Exactly what do you mean - are you trying to start a new thread maybe?

dully1963 - I have never been able to get better than 0,5" 5 shot groups with my Sako L461 wearing an older model PacNor 1/10 twist, turned neck, and zero freebore. My load was using H335, Hornady 25 gr HP and Rem 7 1/2 primers. Not sure what you goal is for accuracy with your gun.

I will be trying a 25 VMax and BR4 primers after annealing my brass to see if smaller groups are possible,

my cooper .17fb likes Benchmark cci 400.s with 20 vmax or 25gnberger varmints. H322 works well also.

17 gr. of VV133, BR4s and 30 gr Kindler Golds jumped .010 and you'll put the lights out on chucks out to 400. That is if you have a custom barrel. If you're shooting a factory barrel and can get a half inch at 100, you'll be fortunate.

dully, You have not said what your current groups are. Could you elaborate? I have very good accuracy with H-322 and it is an "Extreme" powder. 20g V-max loaded to 3850fps. (Slow for a Fireball!) dedogs

I like IMR 4198 for the 20 gr V-max and IMR 8208 XBR for the 25 gr v-max + 30gr Berger.

Try some H335 with a 20g V Max seated right at the lands with a Rem 7.5 primer.

That's just about my exact load. Have shot PDs out to 500 yards with it.

We were talking about the other forum mentioned above..i registered and got locked out, now I can't even contact the administrator to resolve the issue..

On another note ....i was at the range today trying out some reloads....my gun doesn't really like polymer tip bullets..I've tried 3 different brands and it always shoots it best with the Sierra varmint hollow point 25 gr. I have them .020" of the lands.. remington 7 1/2 BR. Primer, alliant reloader 10x powder@ 16.5 gr... I'm getting 3100 fps from a 14" barrel..not close to the 4000 fps..but accuracy is very nice..
