First off the SS-109 is not a match bullet.
If you get 1/2" groups, you will be the only one. 
I get 2", 10 shot groups with Varget, LC brass, Win SR or Wolf SRM at 100 yds. With match bullets, I get 1", 10 shot groups. I have never used the Fed SR primers, no comment. For a load, use the starting load for Speer's 62 gr FMJBT, or a 63 gr bullet, and work up. |

Sir,my experience with these exact bullets in my very accurate Bushmaster DCM rifle,suggests that you will be extreemly lucky to produce the groups you are after.I gave 1,500 of them away.If you are intent on loading FMJ bullets,I suggest you consider Hornady's 55 grain FMJBT as one of the better.While Varget is a very good powder,your experiments may land you with W748 and Remington premium primers. Also forgot to mention that your seating depths with these 62 grain bullets will vary as much as a total of 0.015" most likley due to variation in ojive dimension.You can fiddle with it a lot and get closer but if you just set your seating die and go at you will see unacceptable variation.

Let me clarify a little.
. First thanks for the help. . I've tried these some and so far THEY SUCK. . Thats why i posted the question. I know they arent a match bullet but i do know that there are a lot of variables when producing an excellent load. . The primers listed are: Winchester Small Rifle and Federal Small Rifle MATCH (hence the M designation sorry if was unclear). . I dont really have these for a "go to" load have much better stuff for that. But didnt know if someone knew something I didnt. If i can't get'm to go...watch the EE reloading section they'll be there. |
