Barrel length: 24"
Brass: Lapua
Primer: CCI BR2
Powder: Varget 47.2gr
Bullet: Lapua Scenar 155gr
Ogive OAL: 2.230" .007" jump (MY RIFLE, NOT YOURS)
Velocity: 2903fps 5 shot average S.D.=5 E.S.=10

Start low and work your way up. This load is 1/3moa out to 1300m.

EDIT: btw, this is not a hunting load.
I have had similar result with a similar load. Only shot mine out to 600m but the combo of Varget / Lapua/ CCI Br 2 is excellent. I have had similar results with sierra match kings as well. We were shooting clay pigeons or what ever you call them at 500 yards (think they are about 4 inches in diameter). Mine were a little lighter in powder and a bit slower but hyper accurate.
