What’s your recipe

I recently tried out the Nosler 77 gr CC (picked up some blems on SPS) and was pleasantly surprised. Behind 24 grains of Varget they seem to do better than SMKs in my 18" WOA SPR barrel. I need to a few more trips to the range to verify the load, still, and I've got some TAC I might play with.

Same here, although I haven’t tested slot the buskers shoot better for me on paper so far.

Former11- seems like the re15 is a popular choice, I only have tried some under varget and TAC , my 69gr smk’s shoot lights out under varget but not as good in the 77’s as I’ve gotten with tac so far

My 77gr nosler load - 23.5 -TAC - LC case- 2.245 - and CCI 450 mag primer

Did try a 100ct box of federals small rifle match but actually groups opened up, so stayed with the 450 which I use for all small rifle loads

Over this past weekend I shot three 5-shot groups with 77 gr CC, LC 11 brass, and 24 grains of varget with each of CCI 400, CCI #41, and Rem 7 1/2 primers. The Rem 7 1/2 was the tightest group. Looks like #41s gave the highest velocity but with a lot of variation. Unfortunately I only got chrono readings off of 1 of the shots from the 7 1/2 set, but I think I'll focus on those for a bit.
