Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada .303 questions, ask the Canucks eh?

Yes, Varget works well for moderate loads and 150 grain bullets too. When I received my 30-303 barrel. I cleaned it and shot these four groups at 100 yards to see how the MGM barrel grouped. They were shot with old fashioned 180 gr Rem CL bullets. I used Re 17 at several Milsurp shoots and did well. Re 17 has the same burn rate as the 4350s, but produces more velocity. And it shoots tighter in the three rifles I tried.

This group of four targets was shot with minimal experimentation, using my "fave four" powders. This picture was from my single shot, but produces the same from a couple of No 4s as well. Re 17 loads are about 75+ fps faster than either H or IMR 4350, but the big thing was the accuracy.
