I only want to experiment with one bullet for the moment. I have 70gr Sierra BltzKings and 85gr HPBT Sierra GameKings. What do you suggest I should start with first. I have a Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special and intend to use it for woodchucks and target shooting. From what I have read IMR-4350 seems to be the #1 powder to start with, do you agree? I have IMR 4350, 4895, 4064, 4198, 4320, and 7828 on hand. Anyone have a load to recommend for one of the above bulllets with any of these powders? My new Winchester cases are re-sized, trimmed, tumbled, and primed just waiting for powder and a bullet. What should I try first?
