You're shooting 1/2 groups at 1000 yards!I've tried quite a few powders@ different weights for my 52 grain SMK's including IMR 4895, 3031, 4198, W846 but the best load that I found is 26.2 grains of W748 dispensed from an RCBS Chargemaster and CCI small rifle primers .It shoots 0.5" 5 shot groups @ 1000 yards in my Remy PSS and sub moa in most of my AR's and being a ball powder is a delight to load.
I use 26.0 gr 748 .hard to beat with 52 gr bthps.I've tried quite a few powders@ different weights for my 52 grain SMK's including IMR 4895, 3031, 4198, W846 but the best load that I found is 26.2 grains of W748 dispensed from an RCBS Chargemaster and CCI small rifle primers .It shoots 0.5" 5 shot groups @ 1000 yards in my Remy PSS and sub moa in most of my AR's and being a ball powder is a delight to load.
Mine won't shoot .5" at 1000 though>I use 26.0 gr 748 .hard to beat with 52 gr bthps.
I'm shooting 27.0 of Win 748 and at 100 yards I'll shoot 3/8 all day...providing I do my part!Mine won't shoot .5" at 1000 though>
I have some of that, I'll give it a try!accurate 2015 loves that bullet
Try about 25 1/2 grains unless you’re using a thick case like Lapua. I use Winchester.I have some of that, I'll give it a try!
Thank you sir!Try about 25 1/2 grains unless you’re using a thick case like Lapua. I use Winchester.
Magic powder BM2 and this load is hyper accurate.26 grns Benchmark
I sincerely hope so!Since the OP was looking for this load in 2013 I hope he has found it by now!
Doubt that Scott H is going to answer your question since he has not been seen here since April 21st, 2013, seven years ago when this thread was active.
Sorry guy fat fingers put 1 to many zero's. meant to say 100 yardsMine won't shoot .5" at 1000 though>
It's okay, we've all done it!Sorry guy fat fingers put 1 to many zero's. meant to say 100 yards
I would love to find some VihtaVuori N133! Nice shooting!VihtaVuori N133 works well with the Sierra 52 grain MK when fired from a semi-automatic AR-15. The 10-shot group pictured below was fired at distance of 100 yards and has an extreme spread of 0.62".

If you reread my post it was corrected to 100 yards quite a while ago.You're shooting 1/2 groups at 1000 yards!
