Well, although I didn’t want to I went and bought a semi custom wildcat, a 22BR, Remington 700 action rifle.
What a lovely rifle to shoot. 21” Shillen barrel, heavy profile, 1:14” twist rate. The recipe that came with it was 52gr Sierra HPBT Match King and 30gr Varget. The supplied loaded bullets did indeed shoot ‘bug hole’ groups. Shame I can’t get Varget powder!
now working up loads with N135 which is looking promising. 100m groups so far are in the 4-12mm C-C size
Pictures to follow as as well as updates on the load development
Any comments, thoughts or advice gratefully received. I am new to this game so any advice or recommendations are appreciated
