I just aquired a M700 ML in 54 cal. I would like to know what recommended starting loads are for this rifle. I have two dozen TC PTX Sabot bullets in 250gr 45 cal. I also have some Pioneer FFFG powder. The M700 is set up for 209 primers. I was told to start with 100grns and go from there, anyone else have similar experience? What is minimum and maximum load for this ML?

Thanks.

I bought my hunting partner a Rem 700 54 cal. last year when I got a good deal. Partial payment on some taxidermy. It shoots like a dream with #11 cap, 100 grains Pyrodex P and 300 grain Hornady XTP in .452, with a scope it is under 1.5".

My 54 Remington shoots best with 100gr. T7 and about any bullet and sabot you stuff down it.I am fond of the purple MMP 54 sabot with a 300gr. speer gold dot bullet.
A 100 yard target with the 54/50 load.



Be sure and keep the bolt clean. Buy a bolt take down tool to do it.
