Esox357Remington 700 SPS Tactical 223
Hey guys wondering if anyone has this rifle and what loads they are using? I believe mine has the 1x9 twist barrel?
I was thinking of trying to start with Varget and 69 grain Sierra Match Kings with Winchester Brass and primers.

pagosawingnutI have one and am completely satisfied with it. I don't reload for the .223 but it will shoot federal XM193, factory military 55 gr ball into just over 1/2" at 100. It shoots well.

pagosawingnutIf it doesn't, PM me and I will tell you how to get it to. Very simple, just takes a little tweaking.

perryH4895 is a great powder for that rifle. Very accurate in serveral I know of. Varget should work well too.
