I have an sps varmint that I am trying to find a load for. I have tried 139 sst and varget. I got decent velocity but no accuracy to speak of. I have a couple questions.
1- Does anyone know what the twist rate is? I have seen places claim 9.25. Is this correct?
2- With that twist rate would the 162 A-max be a good bullet choice?
I bought it last month at a really good deal and mainly bought it for the action. I was going to build a .260 or .243 but now I am intrigued with the challenge of making this thing shoot. I have already addressed the tupperware stock issue so that shouldn't be a problem. I may wind up spending as much on different bullets and wasted powder as I would on a .260 barrel but it has become a challenge I want to win. When the barrel is gone then I can do one of the others.
Has anyone tried varget and the 162 A-max?
Does anyone have a pet load they may be willing to share for this rifle?
What kind of velocity can I expect with the 162 A-max out of the 26" barrel?
I am wanting to use it for 1000 yard target shooting. All help would be appreciated. Thanks
