I got about 20 pages or so back and didn't find exactly what I was looking for so here I am posting this: what load should I try? I am figuring that the 115gr NBT would be a solid choice. But what other options are out there? What about either the 100gr or 120 gr wildcat bullets? Good choice for 'lopes? Or the 110gr Accubond? Or 117gr Game Kings? 115gr Berger? Or am I thinking too heavy for lopes and need to go down to the 100gr range?
Rifle is a 1:10" factory Rem 7oo cdl with the original 24" barrel. So far, I have only managed to work up a varmint load with 4831sc and 85gr BT's. I don't have my log book in front of me so the charge escapes me at this time, but I have managed to get under 3/4 MOA. With this being a factory gun, should I be expecting about the same or worse when I jump up to a heavier bullet? Also, should I stick with the 4831? If not, what other powder(s) should I look at? I have been using WW brass and 210 primers, but will likely pick up some br-2's for this load. Thanks in advance your time and suggestions.
