I'm looking for a good load for my Varmit A4. It likes the heavier rounds like the 69 and 77 Match Kings. I need a target round.
I tried 69 gr with IMR4895 and the 77 fr with H335. The 77 is a lot tighter group.
What loads do you guys have?

At mag length, about 24 - 24.3gr of RL-15 - - good for 300 - 600 yds.

I'll be shooting 100-200 yards. What kinda pattern are you getting?

IMO a slightly slower powder, like Varget or N540, would work better with 77gr bullets. RL-15 is pretty close, but I'd still take it up one more notch.

Ramshot tac ********** 23.5gr work up to that
Reloader-15 is also very good in most guns
I like the Hornady 75s as I have a ton of em.
