Yep, tried that load and "beauty queen" loads from other sources.
Varget beat them out by an impressive margin.
I'm going Varget with that bullet in this gun.

Big dummy that I am, I managed to miss that the first time.
All my ducks should be lined up in about a month. We'll see then what works in the S2.

How much off the lands are you guys going with the BSB? I know in the rifles I've tried so far it's not difficult to get right up into the lands.

That bullet is a challenge or it has been for me anyway. Out of the gate I tried it in a good Noveske barrel that has always shot anything well. Not this one though. Did find mag length stuck the bullet hard against lands.

If memory serves at all, Ingwe found his best load with IMR-4895. That was in a 223 AI with probably an 18 inch or so twist though...

What's became of Ingwe, I believe his absence has been taken advantage of on a few occasions.

The 60 NPT works well in my .223. In my 8 twist .22-250 Mohawk/Shilen, I get great groups with 75 Amax and VLD's. That gun just doesn't like the 64 BSB, I can't find a load that will shoot less than 2" at a hundred, the other mentioned bullets shoot half inch. Still testing. I want to try the 64 BSB in my 7 twist .22-204. It loves the 75 Amax, VLD and SSII. I may try the BSB in my custom .223 Ranch Rifle which shoots the 65 Gameking pretty well. That would be a good comparison. I wouldn't bet the farm 64 BSB's will out shoot 65 Gamekings. DF ![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/rush2830/IMG_0010-3.jpg) Because this bullet is so much shorter you may be experiencing some over-rotation. Slowing it down defeats the purpose but if groups get better.... I've only had time to try these in a 1:8 AR. My .22-250 is a slower twist.
