Been doing much googling lately and thehighroad.org comes up constantly so thought I'd give it a shot.
Have a Remington 700 SPS tactical in .223 w/ 1-9 twist and a 20" barrel. Making a trip to Cabelas tonight and hope to get a selection of components to start working up a load for it. Can anyone recommend a load that is working with the heaver bullets, same twist, and barrel length? 200-400 yard target practice and possibly some whitetail hunting.
So far it does not like 55gr elcheapo PMC FMJ, purchased 55gr SP reloads, and some Fiochi 55gr FMJ ammo.
Thinking of going with some 60-75gr bullets depending on what they have stocked. I've got a small supply of varget, benchmark, and some 50gr V-max bullets that I found in my misc reloading box from some time in the past. Wouldn't mind picking up some powder that would also work well with a 30-06 & 300 Win mag if there is one that works in all three.
Cheers
