These things shoot well. The one I've used most is a 700 with 24", 14tw Schneider barrel, braked, and 0 ffreebore, .250"nk chamber. IMI brass, Rem 7-1/2 primer. Bullets have been mostly 50's and occasionally 40's. The target shows the load. Also 2015 powder with 50's has been very good. I'll add that this VV133 load is compressed, if that bothers you, whereas 2015 is not compressed. In that gun, 40's will zip along quite nicely and will get up close to 4200 with pretty decent accuracy. Prairie dogs close to 400yds have been dead meat with the 50gr load. Groups shot off the tailgate of truck.

75 ELD-M @ ~2.475
N140 24.5gr
Lapua or Starline 556 brass
CCI 450 or BR4 (no measurable difference)
2760fps out of 17" Krieger 1:8.

This load has been boringly accurate. Went as high at 25.3gr N140 and it still shot well. Brass lasts longer than it should at 24.5gr and hasn't needed trimmed. 75 ELD-M has been solid on 4-5 coyotes in the last month or two.

Mine is a LRI built Stiller action, Bartlein 27" 1-7 RV with their brake, Jewell, Manners, NF NXS 8-32. I only shoot the heavier bulllets (mostly 80 grain VLD's), use either Varget or Re15, and use Lapua brass mostly. Very good to 600 yards (range limit) and using the LRI muzzle brake, I can watch my trace when the conditions are right.

This rifle has never caused me any issues or made me scratch my head.
