Thanks for the help. I'm going to shoot a group and then I will be able to tell if I have to work up a new load.

I have found a good load using Varget powder however this load was developed with temperatures around 75F and now the temps are between -10F to -20F. How much more powder should I add to make up for the decrease in temperature/pressure?

I have a VSSF II and absolutely love it.

Same with me.

91.7% ain't bad.

It is when you have the cartridges right in front of you.

kirbymagnum,

You're missing one.

30-06 possibly?

How could I forget about the 30-06?

The answer is 22lr, 17HMR, 22 Magnum, .222 Remington, .223 Remington, .204 Ruger, .243 Winchester, .300 Savage, .308 Winchester, 38-55, and 300 Winchester Magnum.

acloco, and Drew Jaeger are very close.

I'd be tickled pink with ANY of those loads, frankly. Not many coyotes or PDs can get away from those sized groups, in any event, even with that "awful" H4895 . Either way, I'm happy if you're happy . You are right, I took out some targets that I shot with factory 32, 40, 45 Hornady, and ...

mr.big , what is your seating depth?

Thanks for the help I will order some CCI BR4 and some CCI 450's.

Exactly what size groups were you expecting from a factory Remmy?

To be honest I have no clue, but after seeing what groups BLC (2) and Varget would produce I knew that my gun/components combonation didn't like H4895.

I have given up on H4895 with Rem primers when using the 39 BK. Here is a five shot group of 39 BK on top of H4895. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h245/kirbymagnum/Picture001-2.jpg Here is a three shot group with Varget using Rem 7 1/2 primers and 39 BK. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h245/kir...

If my brass length has different lengths ( but are in specs) would this affect accuracy? ( Even if my C.O.A.L. is the same)

When I get results like that top picture - I'm the culprit. Looks like three shots almost on top of each other and one way out to the right? Am I reading that right? Two shots almost on top of each other and the third shot out. I have a hard time thinking that its the load too, if two shots will go...

How many rounds do you have through the gun?

I have about 700 rounds down the tube.

I have found that my gun shoots well with Varget.

I'm going to give Varget a try, as well as loading 5 shot groups of H 4895 and see how it works.
