Guys, I have the FN with CL barrel. I use Lapua brass and FGMM Primers and 43.8 gr of Varget on 175 SMK's. I use this because its my rem700 5R load. Needless to say, the FN was impulse buy. So I tried my 5R load and it worked good. It's doing outstanding for a CL barrel. Always shoots MOA, and sometimes half inch. I often blame myself for opening up to a full MOA.

I know all barrels are different but If you have a Varget load, I was curious if there was any tendencies toward higher or lower charges? I would like to be more consistant and have a little time to work on loads while my range is closed down for fire restrictions in AZ. No more LR Shooting for the summer.

What is your accuracy with the load. Thanks fellas.

PB
