Varget

223 Remington

223 Remington Load Development: 52, 55, 69 HPBT, Varget and the Ruger American Rifle

January 9, 2019 Bill Marr 0

I believe 223 Remington is one of the more underappreciated cartridges on the market. Sure, the industry sells a boat load of it. Unfortunately, most of this success is due to its widespread use in […]

Reloading

6.5 Grendel loads in a Howa MINIACTION (6.5 Grendel load development)

February 19, 2018 Bill Marr 0

While the 6.5 Grendel is well established in the AR-15/M16 M4, it’s compact size and perceived long range effectiveness have also made it a desirable choice for low-recoiling bolt-action rifles. Effectively a 6.5-7.62×39 with small […]

Reloading

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Sierra 107 TMK and Varget

February 10, 2018 Bill Marr 0

The current trend in precision rifles is towards longer and heavier rounds.  All too often I read about a new bullet like the 6.5mm 150 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK) and go crazy ordering faster twist […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 123 and 142 SMK

January 15, 2018 Bill Marr 0

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 123 and 142 SMK The majority of cartridges in existence tend to find themselves chambered in certain types of firearms.  While there are exceptions, you’d expect to find […]

Precision Rifles

6mm BR Load Development: 107 SMK, 95 TMK, 70 SMK, and 55 BlitzKing

October 9, 2017 Bill Marr 0

The 6mm Benchrest (6mm BR or 6BR) is a nifty cartridge.  The combination of a low recoil impulse and excellent performance at the 600 yard line have earned it a great reputation among the target […]

Reloading

Remington 700 with McGowen pre-fit barrel at 200 yards

September 4, 2017 Bill Marr 0

Here is a quick update on the McGowen pre-fit barrel project.  To recap, in Installing a pre-fit barrel on a Remington 700, I installed a pre-fit McGowen 1:10″ twist, 25″ long #7 barrel on an old 700. […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor loads: 123 SMK and 130 TMK with VARGET

August 20, 2017 Bill Marr 0

6.5 Creedmoor loads: 123 SMK and 130 TMK with VARGET I’m a big fan of 6.5mm.  There are some great bullets out there, some heavy and some light.  Amongst my favorites in the middle of […]

Bullet Selection

Short barrel 16.5 inch 308 Winchester load development

January 8, 2017 Bill Marr 0

In my opinion, there aren’t many guns cooler than a short bolt action rifle.  I think my fascination started back in the 90s, before the proliferation of precision rifles, with an advertisement in the Shotgun News […]

Bullet Selection

308 Winchester load development: Sierra 168 gr. MatchKing with IMR 4064 and VARGET

December 6, 2016 Bill Marr 0

In the days before the 175 gr. Sierra MatchKing (SMK), the 168 SMK ruled supreme in the 308 Winchester.  Back then it was  sometimes referred to as a “heavy match” bullet since it was a […]

Bullet Selection

223 Ackley Improved (223AI) loads and review: A better 223?

November 28, 2016 Bill Marr 0

223 Ackley Improved: A better 223? Whether it’s simple curiosity or a desire to increase performance, exploring different cartridges is part of being a shooter.  One way to accomplish this is to purchase a new firearm. […]
