Thanks to everyone for all the sound advice I have recieved.Looks like I have some work to do in trying to get the 1/2 inch groups with the 125s out of my rifle,but heck,that is all in the fun of reloading.
Yeah Clint,I'd say you are right.The Varmint Special has the 700 BLD walnut stock and the barrel is a little shorter.Probably the same twist as your 700 VLS.
Anyway, thanks to all
Paul.
