I am chasing my tail with this dang rifle when it comes to reloads. I can shoot the cheapest of cheap corelokts just fine. I'm trying to find "MY" load that works. I've tried 5+ powders, 4 bullet brands of all the same grains and experimented to 165 and 180 grain. SP and PSP. Nothing get's better than the factory rounds!
These seems so backwards. I've tried replicating the factory loads as much as can physically without getting my hands on their powder!
IMR-4064 at 150 Grains is supposed to be the target load for best performance according to my sources. It's a 2 MOA at best load.
I really despise buying factory rounds. But I am open to ideas. RIght now I have 150 grain Hornady Spitzer SP loaded over 48 grains of IMR 4064 to try. My factory loads are pushing 150 grain rounds over 3000 FPS. I use the superformance and hypersonic loads from hornady and remington to give flatter trajectories and I can put three round in the same ragged hole at 100-150 rounds with those factory rounds.
Reloading rounds is just disappointing. HELP!
If it makes a difference before I switched to the 150 Grain factory rounds, my gun shot regular core lokts 180 grain soft point rounded nose bullets the best out of anything. So I bought some Sierra 180 Grain round nose and no combination seems to work with those either!
