I have a new Ruger M77 Varmint and lucked into a 1000 of these new bullets. I have on hand S365 (an IMR4350 equivalent). I am guessing in the 41-43gr range is a good place to start. I've tried 88gr Bergers, they work well but the supply has dried up here in South Africa.

Any other ideas? Do they like being seated into the lands? Dies are Redding, brass is Winchester, cases neck-turned 13 thou, shoulder snuck back 1 thou after firing. Run-out nil to 1 thou on the gauge.

Hope you all had a very merry Xmas,

Cheers
