Was wanting to try some Sierra 135 MK in my FN SPR for some local target shoots using either Varget or RE15 powder - anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks
 
Re: Sierra 135 MK Loads

Sent some of these when they first came out. Good little bullet. Rated @ .395 bc. 26" barrel,10 twist. Loaded @ 2.135 base to ogive gave me .032 off the lands. 47.50 gr Varget produced 3010 fps using Black Hills match brass and 210M primers.
The 2.135 base to ogive is about as long as you want to go. At this length bullet is seated .105 into neck. Works great. 9 MOA elevation to 500 yards, under .5 MOA groups. 34 MOA will get you to 1000 and still responds to input. Actually a fun little bullet to shoot.

Later and hope this helps, Brad
