With ramshot tac and the 200 gr barnes tsx I clocked it in the low 2900's the accuracy just wasn't there. This barrel likes to be in the 2650 range with 225's and 2750 with the 200's. Reloader 17 has worked best. While I have loaded long with longer bullets like the accubond the rifle just likes the shorter bullets seated around 3.0".

Love those doglegs!



I have a Montana Rifle Co. bolt gun with a 22" barrel that I load so that the base of the bullet is at the base of the neck. With Winchester 748 and the 200 grain AccuBond was getting in the 2900s and 2750 from the 250 Speer I believe...both ran about moa... I have some 275 Swift A-Frame but have not tried them yet...

Really with a .35 all you need is a 220/225 at 2600 to get anything that needs to be on the ground there...
