Gentleman,
Went to the range today set up my target and realized I left
the little allen wrench Leupold gives you to remove the elevation adjustment cap at home!!!
Back to home, back to range, -I hate doing double work-it advertises my stupidity!
Only had 7 rounds left-1st shot was 2.5 high...
Thank you all for your kind remarks.
No rain until later today I'm going to try to go to the range.
I've got 7 of the Varget rounds loaded for the story at 100 yards benched.

I took the Tikka to the range for the first time yesterday.
Loaded 3 brands of powder, -Varget - N140 and Accurate 4064, all under a Nosler 70 grain RDF. There's a VX 5HD 3x15x44 on top, mounts, rail all Leupold "Back Country".
Not a nice day drizzle off / on and a little wind.

I purchased an 8 twist .22-250 Tikka Lite , mounted a VX 5HD 3x15 on top and now the search begins!
My intentions are daytime coyotes. I've got some of the RDF bullets and was wondering if anyone has used them on yotes??
Also have a bunch of 55 grain BT and Varmagddons ,, but I'd like to...
Folks,
I've got a new Tikka Lite 8 twist .22-250.
I'd like to use 70 grain pills for coyotes.
I have 200 Nosler 70 grain RDF bullets but don't know if they are
suitable for coyote hunting. If anyone is using them, or other 70 weight bullets how do you like them.
Thank you in advance for your...
Folks ,
Wondering is anyone is loading 6mm Nosler 55 grain pills in an 8 twist .243?

Could you get any accuracy?

Folks,
I've got some Sierra 53 grain Match bullets.
I loaded them yesterday with 34 grains of H 4895. According to the Sierra rep on the phone today I should be about 3550 fps in a 14-twist barrel. I think Ruger No.1 22-250 varmint barrels are 1 in 14 twists. Speed is NOT my concern just...
Salmonchaser,
Thank you for your reply.
I was so frustrated I just left them on the frame -and another club member was waiting on a frame so I packed up and went home.

Fellows,
Well, I tried 6 different powder and OAL combinations.
Zilch. Shot them all today over a few hours, it was a beautiful day in Southern NJ, and only loaded 5 of each combination.
My 1V DOES NOT like 40 grain Varmagdedons or BT.
Moving on to see what 50s will do.
Thanks for your input...
Folks,
I loaded some 40grain Varmagdedon using 36 grains of Accurate 2520, and 36.5 grains of Accurate Big Game for 50 grain Varmagdedeons. Results were horrible!! I'm shooting a Ruger No.1V,-action is bedded-barrel is bedded and free floated and it's got a Canjar set trigger.
I'm wondering if...
Fellows,
I'm wondering if anyone is using Varget in .22-250 with Nosler 50 to 55 Varmagdedon bullets?
The rifle is a Ruger No.1V. Flat base bullets seem to shoot better for me at 100 yard range.
Also, in .243 shooting Hornady 65 grain VMax bullets for Coyotes, and 90 or 95 grain Nosler...
Folks I'm wondering if anyone is using the above powders in .243 Winchester 10 twist rifles.
I'm looking to load 65 grain Vmax and 70 grain Varmagdedon & Ballistic Tip bullets. Rifle is a Ruger No.1a
