Bought a pound of Varget a whle back to try. Haven't been satisfied with IMR4895 under 168 SMK in my Rem SPS Tac.
Considered trying the ladder method, seems a great savings on components.
I came to the unfortunate realization that I cannot load long enough to get close to the lands without single loading. I can only go ~2.825" and stay in the mag, I need around 2.95" to reach the lands +0.010".
I have a decent enough load I've been using on groundhogs and regular plinking that are mag length,but, I'm always searching for that one hole group.
How many here would abandon the ability to load the mag just to find that perfect load?
I suppose I could just have two differ loads for the same rifle...
