I have been reloading for a couple of months now. I recently bought a Savage 116 bolt action and am wanting to reload accurate rounds for target shooting.
After extensive research online and in manuals, I have 3 test loads with different powders that I am going to try. I am trying Varget, IMR 4895, and IMR 4350 using starting loads out of the Lee and Lyman manuals. I am using once fired Remington brass, CCI #200 LR primers and Sierra 168gr Matchking bullets.
Just curious what any of you guys have found that works for you. Also, when testing out loads, how do you all do it? I'm planning on firing 5 of each load at 100 yards from a bench using a sandbag.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated since I'm kinda new to this. Thanks.
