Lately I've been using 50 gr. Hornady V-Max and 24 grs. IMR or H4895 with anybody's primer. We shoot a Remington 700 SPS with a 3x9 scope and it will print 3 shot groups under 1/2" at 100 yds. Don't know what rate of twist the barrel is. Gun belongs to a friend, but it's not a heavy barrel varmint style.
