I've placed my order on a Remmington 700 vl ss with a Nightforce scope and Harris bipod. I'll have a trigger job performed but will save the heavy accurization work for when I go to replace the barrel. First, I want to shoot out the factory barrel, which is 26" long with a 1:12 twist.

Anyone like a particular bullet (weight and/or maker) with this caliber for long range (500yds plus) varmint hunting, mostly prarie dogs.

Thanks!

50 grain v-max and 38-ish grains of h-380 do nice work on prairie dogs and coyotes to as far as you care to shoot them.

52 sierra matchkings and h-380 is a great combination as well, though not near as explosive - but just as accurate.

yeh,the h380 with the sierra hpbt 52 gr are terrific as far as accuracy. That is the magic combination for my savage 26" barrel.

I used the 52 and 53 grain matchkings exclusivly in my 22-250. They turn woodchucks inside out.

My favorite load with the 50g V-Max is 35.5g of Vihta Vuori N-150 shoots 1/2 groups all day long.
