Remington 700 5R
175 G Sierra Match King
Varget 39.9 thru 44.1
Accuracy node seems to be between 42.3 and 43.5
I didnt get to crono yet but will do during the next testing phase
This all took place at 300 yards

Re: first ladder test

300 yards is a good distance to test at. The horizontal shift concerns me a little bit. Otherwise, I'd load up a bunch in that range and see how well they shoot. In the past, I have had to do a load ladder more than once to really nail accurate results. Not saying you'll have to, but don't be surprised if things don't work out perfectly the first time. Good shooting!

Re: first ladder test

I was thinking that 42.9 I could have pulled that shot

Re: first ladder test

My 5R hit another accuracy node at 45.4g of Varget. In case you don't find the speed your looking for. Well done!

Until that day,
