So here is 3 powders lobbing 178gr AMAX. not sure what to make of the results. (ignore the .22 holes in the middle target and bottom target of CFE223. Sebben lit them before i got pics.)
Varget. 42.5-44.5 gr. in .5 increments
RE-15 42.5-45.0 gr in .5 increments
CFE 223 45.0-47.0 in .5 increments
The Varget and RE-15 loads consistantly shot well regardless of charge but 43.5 to 44.5 gr was always center cluster on all 3 tests. the CFE 223 loads were a bit easier to discern. the 5 shot groups always had 45 and 45.5 alone with 46, 46.5 and 47 WELL clustered. (bottom target look at the 8/9 ring at 9 o'clock)
Seems i can't go wrong with the powder options. going to run one with imr 4064. out of these 3 powders, what is the most temp stable? i know cfe 223 isnt but is there much difference between RE15, 4064 and Varget?
gun is stock rem 700 AAC-SD in B&C LTR, badger 20MOA base, Talley tactical rings and SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 glass.
