RMR 69 gr OTMs

[Bullz]

Would you guys offer any updates on these? I'd like to save my 77 smk loads for 600+ yard shooting. I'm looking for something that will do well inside of that, and as a general practice round. Based on what I'm reading here, I'm thinking about order 1k to see how they do.

Honestly, if they can hold moa at 600... I'd just start loading these exclusively. Also, has anyone used CFE223, Benchmark or Varget with them?

That's pretty much what we're doing. I'll load a few hundred 77s every so often so we have them available. But we're loading/shooting these weekly now.

Also, has anyone used CFE223, Benchmark or Varget with them?

I don't like Varget's metering or bulk density for .223. It will work, but it's not the best choice. Of those, I'd shoot CFE. Benchmark worked best for lighter bullets for us, but I never got Super results in 69 and heavier OTMs. (not that you can't get there, I'm just lazy)

That's fair, I appreciate the reply. I use 24gr of Varget under the 77smk as my normal match load. I stock CFE 223 and Benchmark, so I thought I'd ask. Whenever H322 shows up again, I'll buy some. I know a lot of guys who use that and TAC and keep telling me to switch.

I put the order in for 1k to try them out. I can shoot a lot more often with these if they work out.

Don't get me wrong. Varget will give great results. It's just that you can get the same results with powders that meter a little better. I've heard guys say Varget is great... you just can't get enough of it in there. (for .223 specifically)
