hey guys... am currently in the process of working through several loads to see which one is the most accurate in my rifle, which is a 1 in 9 twist (20" barrel). I ended up getting the lapua 123gr scenars to shoot a .553" group at a hundred yards, but I want to see if that is the most accurate bullet for my barrel, or if i should go lighter or heavier.
i currently have some 130gr Berger VLD's that i am trying to work up loads on. I want to dial in the powder first before I dial in the COAL. But my problem is that i can't seem to find any load data for this bullet with the Varget powder i'm using. Closest thing i found is here, and only lists Hodgdon's BLC2 powder for this bullet. So how do i know what to start with? How does the BLC2 typically relate to Varget? From looking at that chart, I was planning on starting with about 2 grains less than the BLC2 recommended load (i.e. 27 grains) since that's what the chart typically seems to recommend.... then I will check my velocity on the chrono and take it from there. I also don't know if anyone has a resource to point me to about compressed loads? Thanks in advance guys.
