    Varget for 69gr Sierra match kings?

    Anyone care to share load data for 69gr Sierra match kings using varget? Rifle used is a AR-15 with a 223 wylde 16" Ballistic advantage Hanson barrel 1:8 twist. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Varget for 69gr Sierra match kings?

    My gun seemed to like it on the lower end but here’s my results with varget. I do want to load some more up at different seating depths. 18” OdinWorks barrel 1:8 twist. 5 shot groups

    Thank you. Are those tipped by chance? I'll start at 24gr and work up a bit.

    They’re not the tipped match kinds they’re the HPBT. Haven’t tried TMK but if that’s what you’re using I’d love to see how they do!

    No problem. This where I got my data just for reference. I don’t have the Sierra manual

    I have used 25 gr varget with 69 Sierra or Nosler bullets at 2.25 OAL for years in my high power match rifles. Have not found one that does not like that load.
