Got a chance to shoot the rounds I loaded. 24gr of varget with 69gr smk and 68gr hornady otm did not produce good groops they were 1in- 1 1/4in groops. 24.5 & 25gr of varget produced 10 five shot groops ranging between 1/2 - 3/4in groops. surprisingly the hornady 68gr otm had the best groopings. I'm gonna go with 25gr of varget the groops were marginally better than 24.5gr.

It was freezing cold and windy so I didn't shoot the loads I did with ar comp. I will shoot them next weekend and hopefully things go as good as today. A huge thank you to all that have replied and sent me IM's and called me.
