My long range rig is nearly complete so now it's time for load development. It's a Remington 700 SS 5R Milspec. 24" with 1:11.25 twist sitting in an XLR Element Chassis. I'm gonna concentrate on the 175 SMK as my primary projectile. What are the tricks of the trade? I'm coming to understand that it's all about consistency. I plan on doing some optimum charge weight testing. Does the higher end brass give you a sizable advantage over milsurp stuff? My plans are to use LC brass, CCI BR2 Primers, 42-45 grains of Varget, and 175gr SMKs. My ultimate goal is to be able to make sub-moa groups/first round hits anowhere from 600-1,000yds. I'll take any and all advice. I'm very new to long range. This is my first bolt gun and I've never shot passed 100yds. Thanks in advance.
