Back on May 5, I surveyed you guys about the Vanguard. Well,I bought it! I started load development and break-in this A.M. I started with a load that I use in my long range PD rifle. the first three shots measured .613".
I changed to a deer load based on the previous load; RPbrass,CCI primer, 53.5gr IMR4831,and Sierra 100gr Spire point flat base. After wiping the bore, and cleaning for copper, I shot two fouling shots. The next 3 shots measured .423". I think you guys put me on a "WINNER".
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

Congratulations, so far so good.

Sounds like you're on course!!
Just had my new Weatherby Vangard in 25-06 out yesterday shooting it for the first time.
Out of 11 different loads, three shot exceptionally well. So, I'm a happy Vanguard owner.
I'm concentrating on 120 grain bullets, and also shot a couple of 115 grain loads.
Looks like RL-22 and H-4831 are THE powders for my rifle.
I loaded up some sighters with 85 grain bullets, and one three shot group with them shot well.
No flies on my Vanguard..

I have a Weatherby Vanguard in 204 Ruger that is absolutely a tack driver out to about 300 yards. I love this gun ... Prairie dogs not so much!!

I'll strongly consider another Vanguard purchase in the future.

The blue/synthetic vangaurd is a great gun and value. Never heard a negative about them. That's some very good shooting.

And the trigger is easy to get it to work real fine.Good Luck
