New VSSF, how much 10X?

Guys,
Am anxious to go test my new Remi VSSFII. I am going to shoot 39 SBKs first with some 10X. How much works for you and what is the max load? Also, any other powders work great with this bullet?
Thanks!

Finally an update! Remington VSSF II bad?

Well, UPS showed up at my door Tuesday with a brand-spanking new gun! The paperwork said accuracy issue was "unable to be resolved". I guess I feel a bit better after dealing with the monkeys at Scheel's. Interestingly, the trigger had the X-Mark tag stating that the pull weight was set at...

Re: Remington VSSF II bad?

I'm definitely going to send it in but that's my fear; they'll stamp it good enough. Can't help but think sooner or later they'll lose business on thier ultra premium varmint guns if 1&1/2" at 100 yards is the accuracy standard they set. If it comes back "as is" I will trade it fo...

Re: Remington VSSF II bad?

Remington VSSF II Update! Can't believe what the smithys sai

The gunsmiths at West Des Moines Scheels called. They took my gun to range, shot 32 grain factory V-maxs. Their best 3 5 shot groups averaged over 1". They said this was well within Remington standards (even for a $1250 premium varmint gun) and were shipping the gun back! As for shooting better...

Remington VSSF II bad?

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum. I wanted to ask you'll a question. I picked up VSSF in .204 last fall and have decided to take it to a Remington repair center. I have had two previous VSSFs in 223. One shot lights out and the other held 5/8" groups at 100 consistently. After my purchase I put ...
