All the things you can do in reloading nothing trumps to what pointing bullets with a Hoover system. Shoot F class with 223 Rem 90 gr bullets Shooting a 15 relay at 900 m on calm evening at Connaught ranges with pointed bullets 15 shots in 10" and 12 of 15 in 5" vbull. Shot another 10...

Developed load for Target shooting use the same load in my Model 7 for deer,bear & moose not a hot load but works good. That load of yours with VT 540 is on the warm side, my model 7 at 6.25 lbs with scope, would be to much for me to handle

140 gr Nosler balistic Tips max load of IMR4350, at 3200fps accurate

I would stay away from A-max I have found plastic tips are not best for longrange shooting I have never seen anyone winning in F class use them, I would try the Hornady Match HPBT 208gr with BC of 620 your giving up 28 points on BC but its a better bullet. Friend is having great success shooting...

Have a very nice stock for Rem 40x only metal is tension screws on forearm has been refinished with a oil finish, has original remington but pad $250 +18 shipping

Idaho Hunter I would pass on the VLDs very few shooters in F class use VLD bullets anymore the most accurate now that I have seen are the 200 gr hybrids I don,t think you will be disappointed. manitou

IMR4350 yes H4350 no

For me no jump works best just kissing lands is best

For me the 168 gr Hybrids are the best 168gr 30cal bullet here is some powders all near max load out of older Rem 700 BDL 22" barrel, nut behind bolt was a little loose, Iam recoil shy hope it helps you

Benchrest shooters in 70s all used Rem brass with small rifle primers, because it was better than large rifle. Todays Lapua palma is way better brass than Rem most all shooters shooting FTR in Canada have switched to Palma brass. Her is a target shot with Palma brass at a locale shooting event...

Don't have a neck turning unite from 21 century but his hand held primer tool is the best out there

A group of members at range shoot the 223 Longrange to 1000y and using 69gr bullets and up to the 90gr VLD bergers. we have all found the ball powders do not work they work great with 53gr match bullets but not the heavy bullets Best velocity's RL 15, VT 540 & 550 all Lapua brass benchrest...

I have never tried 168gr but 150gr nosler BT is just plain amazing in my Rem 700 under 1/2min at 100y 2900fps using a rather warm load of IMR 4831 H 4831 wont give acccuracy or speed as IMR 4831 I also tried RL 17 with listed load Only one on Alliant site speed was slower but I could have gone...

I have loaded for for 7mmwsm with 24" Hart barrel best accuracy was 66+gr 4831sc with Fed GM Magnum primers neck turned winchester cases, 140gr Nosler BT,3175fps very very accurate .2" at 100y. I wanted more speed for hunting as this gun only weighs 6.5lbs + scope etc. Loaded 75gr Magpro...

Been loading the 30 06 for many years mostly 165gr noslers BT & Partitions tried some RL17 this fall it is by far the best powder for the 3006 I have used , for best speed & accuracy good luck. manitou
