Paul, In 125 grain I'm using Nosler Ballistic Tips. I'm not familar with the Remington Varmint Special but just guessing that the only dif between that and my VLS is the stock. Anyone know?
I also have a Rem 788 in .308 that groups between 1/2" and 3/4" with that same load and average fps of 2800 but the barrel is 4" shorter. By the way Hornady lists max load with RL-15 and 125 grain bullet at 50.1 but I've only started working with that bullet and haven't pushed it any harder yet.
RL (Reloader) 15 works so well for me I bought a 5 pound keg and my other powders have been pushed to the back of the case. It worked well in my 22-250 also before I sold it.
