155 Nosler CC's with Varget

A friend and I split a box of 1000 Nosler 155 cc bullets from Midway and I loaded some with 46.5 Varget over Win WLR primers and headed to the range in the rains of tropical storm Lee yesterday afternoon. I usually shoot at 200 prone to test my reloads, but since it was raining and windy I shot off the bench at the 100 yard range since it's more protected from the wind.

Starting with the left target I shot the 11:00 round first from cold clean barrel then the nice group of four. I gave the sights (1/2 min) a click left and shot the right target with the first three rounds at 12, the x at 10, then the last three at six. I guess my sight picture was getting off? Further bench work had to end due to the targets melting off the frame so I came home and merrily cranked out rounds on the Dillon.

The rifle is a match build IHC with NM sights, action glued in, handguard unitized, and LMR barrel.

No too shabby! I'll bet the second target would have been all Xs & 10s except for the weather; sure is nicely centered horizontally. I've never tried Varget with the 155s in an M1, but it looks like it'll be on the list. Thanks!

Good shooting! Love those cheapo Noslers, well compared to the Green box.

I shoot the Nosler 155s kind of light, but they shoot. 43 grains of I4895.
