Most accurate 20 Tact Load?

[17varminter]

hello all,

I have a Cooper phoenix in 20 tact. I have loaded quite a few loads for it, the most accurate so far has been this one:

Berger 40 gr, Lapua Brass, Primer: CCI 450, Powder: Benchmark 25.2 gr @ 3,621 fps.

Any one else impressed with this load? I have gotten .350 groups at 100 yds outdoor range.

My most accurate to date was 24.4 of BM or 24.4 of 10X with 40s.
25.2 was very good but these two were best for mine with 205Ms.
Mine is a Sako 75 25" PAC-NOR 1-11 #3.

The Benchmark has been as accurate a powder as I've shot in the TAC. If you're just shooting paper no need to go farther. If you're gonna hunt the gun you just cannot get the velocity. With the R10 or N133[expensive] you get almost the same accuracy with a good couple hundered extra fps with 40's.

Was with H4198, ww brass and CCI BR4 primer shooting a 32 Gr Blitzking at 4184 fps.

my most accurate load has been

40G V-MAX 5thou off the lands
Laupa Brass
FED 205m
23.3G of VhitN133 @3590 fps

its not the fastest load but it is seriously accurate, under an inch at 300 yards.

Tell me about the rifle you used to shoot those groups. I want one!

[craigyboy]

its a cooper m21 rebarreled with a pac-nor 1-11 3 groove, finished at 26 inches and built by a very good smith.

suppose a pic of the rifle wouldnt hurt either, always nice to have some rifles to look at (other peoples rifles just look so much nicer dont they)

had loads of kills with this rifle as far out as a rabbit at 470 yards, and piles of crows and pigeons at 300+

heres a long range crow shot with it when it used to wear a lovely swarovski scope, why o why did I change that scope!!!!
