Good load for 65 grain Sierra SPBT

[hillbill]

I've had a bunch of these for several years and decided to load some, I'm running them in a 8 twist 18" AR.
I have Varget, 4895, H-335 several different VV powders and others.
Suggestions will be appreciated.

Varget get the nod over here. Rem 700 SPS varmint , 26" barrel. 12 twist I think , but it still works .

I've seen very good accuracy in a couple of Colt ARs (1 in 7") and a CZ bolt action (1 in 9") using the 65 GK and H4895 powder. TAC is good but not quite as accurate though it does go through a measure better. I have not used Varget, but it would be worth a try. With regard to Varget in general - I've tried it in a number of cartridges and have developed some accurate loads, but I've seen slightly better overall results with H4895.

Charge weights?

In My rifle, a 16" AR, I use 25.4 grains of Varget under the 65 SGK. This gave me good accuracy and power to put down the does for the freezer. Just be sure to start low and work up to this load, every rifle is different.

H4895 with 25.5. Use good reloading practice as usual

Viht N133 starting load at 22 grains. My rifle likes 23.5 grains but start lower to find your best groups and work up.
