Graham M Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 What bullets do you find is best for this rifle folks?? 55grn bullets. If you load yer own try Varget powder. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Varget is OK but there are plenty of better choices - mainly ones with a quicker burn rate. Benchmark is OK, N130/N133 also good. H4895 is worth a look too - similar to Varget but a mite quicker, so better velocity and same consistency without any pressure issues.
