MiLisCer Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 If you are going to reload - I use Sierra 55gr Blitzking's through my remmi with a 1 in 12 barrel and they are superbly accurate out to 600 yds. They are excellent on fox and rabbit out to 300 yds. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Keep to the low end weight bullets with 1-12 but you can spend the next ten years experimenting in that area alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I put 55gn vmax over 22.3gn of Viht N133 and it works very well in my Howa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 my friends howa shoots 3/8" groups with 52 a-max and 24grains of H4895 which is less than their starting weight but both our rifles shoot well with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
