Ran out to the range yesterday to try out some 55-grain Ballistic Tips with AA2700. The BTs seem to be an easier bullet to get to shoot than Varmageddons. When I first tried AA2700 I was seeing things I didn't like long before I got to the charges that many have recommended...something about my rifle's chamber, maybe, or it could be the Nosler brass I'm using. I don't see the need to get the last few fps out of the rifle anyway.

Charge was 40.9 grains of AA2700 and they clocked about 3765 fifteen feet from the muzzle (24" barrel). If the load will do this consistently I will be perfectly satisfied.

Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
