24 Bullseyes
I shoot mine with heavier bullets and Vihtavuori powder (a Super Varmint, 600mm/24” barrel) so can’t say anything about those bullets/powder but for 69 gr Scenar i use 23.2 gr VV135 powder. Very accurate load.
I normally shoot 73 & 75 gr ELD Match, 77gr Scenars and 80gr Berger VLD loaded with VV 140 powder, 24.2-24.3 gr / 22.6 gr respectively. All the heavier bullets shoot great at 300 meters and 77 Scenar & 80 Berger shoot crazy accurate.
The ELD’s have MV at 885 mps, Scenar 875 mps and the Berger at 825 mps at 10 degree Celsius. You do the math …I am based in South africa and varget is in very limited quantities here so will be using the Vhutavouri here to. I see their new N540 powder is great for the heavies. (70-80gr) Have you given it a try?
