I doubt this combination is optimal for precision shooting but it’s what I had on hand.  Not sure what happened at 23.1.

Is it worth chasing MOA All Day with this bullet and powder combo, or should I order some 77s and Varget?  Or something else?

23.5 looks good, especially with a fmj. Test some more at that to see if you are on to something, or if it was a lucky group. My LaRue barrels have all liked 77 smk’s and Berger tactical’s over Varget.

Loaded up some 139 Lapua Scenar’s in the Creedmoor. Almost but not quite. Threw two shots I called on upper right and lower left. So close to breaking 1/2 moa average! This target averaged .5778 moa. The good news is the GAP is still shooting!
