50-grain Varmint Grenade
Working up a load for this bullet. Ran a ladder with Varget 22.8 to 24.8 in .5 increments. While none blew my skirt up as far as tight groups, I think I need to run something similar again. Rifle is a 20” PSA on an Anderson lower, Accu wedge, Rise A trigger, A1 buttstock and buffer, rifle length gas system, 3-12X40 scope. Shoots 52gr HPBT with different load around 1” or less at 100YRDS. Might have tainted my test by shooting through a dirty platform. I cleaned the Ba-Jebus out of the rifle and bore. Will shoot some fowlers before I test again. One thing that concerned me with using Barns data was the COAL. 2.200 seems short for this bullet. Would like to use IMR4064 rather than Varget, only because I have more of it. Lyman 50th shows same load for 50-55gr (different bullet) with 4064. Thoughts? Goal is P Dog center mass at max 200M range. Primer stock is getting low (les than 300 standard and mag SRP) suggestions?
