 |
Well here it is, the best I have ever shot. I sighted in the gun with the first 6 rounds of a new load that I'm trying, so that only left me with 4 rounds to group. The temp was 55 degrees, small amount of wind, range of 225 yards taken with a Leupold RX-IV from the target to the bench. Anyway, here's the info:
Ruger KM77VT 220 swift with Leupold 12x scope
Remington brass, CCI NO. 200 primers
40.1 gr IMR 4350, Hornady 55gr V-max

I hope so. I have tried 4 different bullet brands in it, 3 different powders, and an ungodly combination of all of the above listed. I'm sure people have struggled even more trying to find a perfect load though. I have slaved away at it as much as time allows. My only downfall is that the range I have in my backyard is only 40 yards. I need to go somewhere else to shoot longer distances. Since Michigan doesn't have a lot of flat areas that are publically owned, and the gun ranges only have at most 100 yards, finding a place to shoot has actually been the biggest challenge.
