An addendum to original post. Picked up a 700 varm. 26" fact bbl. and is 1st 22/250 rifle that doesn't like 4064 for me. It does love 35.2 Rl 15, 52 amax, fed std. lr prim., .015/020 off lands in any case(so far), 200 yd. 5 shot 7/8". 20 shot 300yd f/class style prone off bipod 41/4 by 31/2 grp. 18 of those shots would have launched a pd.

Shot the smallest 5 shot group I've ever seen out of my gun tonight. My rig is a savage 12 VLP with a 8 twist 26" shilen varmint contour barrel, sss comp trigger, hs psv118 stock and nss cnc recoil lug. The barrel has a .252 neck, set at minimum headspace and I shoot lapua brass with necks .012-.0125"

75gr Hornady A-max
Federal 210M
Lapua Brass, neck turned, .001 neck tension
35.4gr Viht N550
jammed .010

5 shots capable of 1/2" done on more than one occassion. Tonight I put 5 into an honest .420 end to end at 100 meters. The group looked like a 4 leaf clover and the wind wasn't even close to being ideal.

I just started working on that load this week too. If it wasn't for the cartridge guide i never would have put N550 behind an AMAX. I've been using it for 69gr MKs for a while now. I never thought the AMAX could be capable of that accuracy

I find it hard to shoot the heavies into teeny tiny groups. My rifle seems to favor a hard hold which seems unusual to me

34+34 is a simple and basic, accurate to 200-225 yards as it only has a .150 BC 1-1.5" @ 200
It has killed many P-Dogs and Squirrels, too light for Coyotes and Chucks. No recoil, able to see all shots thru scope.
