I’d like to keep it to 70-90 grain bullets.. varget, 8208, are powders I’d like any experience with as I have plenty of it.

The varget didn’t produce the performance (hunting) I was looking for. Ive about settled on 29 grains of 8208 450 primer & 80 grain CX or ttsx bullets for deer & pigs. BLC-2 also produced great groups & performance. This Bartlein 1:9 barrel is crazy accurate. Working on varmint loads that will print close to the hog loads, using 75 Vmax, 65 Berger & 80 gr nosler. I made a sleeve for seater (bonanza bench rest) out of the barrel cutoff by cutting a chamber with the same reamer I chambered the rifle with. Seems to make a good straight load. Thanks again for your help! Greg Greg "An abundance of information can exacerbate ignorance if the information is of poor quality" Tom Robbins http://classicsportingguns.com/
