So, I have a Rem 700 SPS Varmint .243 Win just sitting. I have a Vortex Viper PS-T 4-16x44 sitting. Then it hits me, let's marry these two and make a 500yd tack driver and abuse some paper.
The barrel and action is same as Remington's Long Range I just have the crappy stock.
For now, you want to spend zero money so you have to build a handload that works with the 26" 1:9.25 twist barrel.
You have 10's of pounds of Reloader 17, plenty of BR-2's.
I am thinking the 90gr SMK, but according to Bergers stability calculator it's only marginally stabilized.
Any have experience with the above parameters?
Either way, I am going to pick up a 100 of the SMK's and see what's what.
What do ya think?
