I was able to make it to the range again today and the results were even better than last time. The rifle is a Savage LRPV 204 Ruger. The loads were 27.7 grains of Xterminator with a Nosler Varmageddon 32 grain bullet. I was using winchester brass fully prepped with the CRT tools and ignition was handled by a Tula small rifle magnum primer. I was able to obtain a 5 shot group that measured .383 center to center. All in all i felt that was good for a factory rifle with budget bullets and an average shooter.
Disclaimer: For safety purposes please don't use this load, just because its safe in my rifle doesn't mean it will be safe in another. Its always best to start with a lower charge and work your way up slowly.

I am getting about the same results with the varmageddons and simular loads of either W748 or X-terminator. They are a super bullet in the tipped form. Bill K
