Because of shortages, I ended up with Hornady GMX's (which don't get much love here). In 2 rifles with 22" bbls, After doing some initial tinkering with more traditional 150 gr powders with faster burn rates with mediocre results...I moved to slower powders. Win. cases, WLR primers, fill case to bottom of the bullet with VV N160 or RL19 (H4831 SC will work too as will probably anything in that burn rate) etc. Consistent 5 shot grps no larger than 1.3 moa, and occasionally down to .8 moa., velocities averaging around 2900 fps. I don't chase seating depth, but seat to allow trouble free feeding from the mag box on pre 64 Win. FW and Rem 30 Express.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
