243 and 58gr v-max, anyone??

I run the 58g VM w/w760 and they have no problem grouping at an average of.750" in my sporter Savage build. A pal uses W760 in his .243 & .243AI and in his heavy barreled rigs no issues clover leafing them.
I use W760 for other .243 loads without a hitch ever.

That's my next test load coming up.
I will load it the same as my 80g ttsx barnes bullet load.
My powders that worked great w/the 80g barnes are W760/H414/Varget/RL19/BLC2/
Everything out of my 22" sporter went from .720" to .860" @ 100yds.
The w760, 80g ttsx load at 700 yards was 5 3/4"
Im thinking thr 80g gmx will be the same, but testing will tell.
All my 400 yard targets were from 2.5" to just under 4" depending on the winds.
They all ran from 3257 to 3315 fps.
 
I just made up a 10 round batch of 80gr GMX over 42.3 gr w760 (max) try it Friday I'll let ya know how it goes and how do I post pictures?

My best col is 2.740" that gave the best accuracy, 2.800" they strung horizontally.
You will have to play with seating a tad after you get shooting & actual groups.
