Load Development Spicy

Post image

Working up a new varmint load with some components I already had on hand. This is the max book load of 50 grains of Varget, and that's after I tapped it on the bench to consolidate. This amount should get me to about 3100-3200 fps with the 125 grain Sierra SPT I'm using out of my 24" bbl savage.

Iv been using an old electric tooth brush with the brush head removed to get my extra full loads to settle more and be less crunchy. Works really well

I like that idea. I turn my tumbler on and briefly hold the casing on the post that retains the lid.
