I have a new BAT 22 BR with 1 in 7.7 Kreiger barrel. Varget shoots pretty good with 75 and 80 grain bullets. Any recommendations for other powders? Load info is pretty slim. Thanks Jim
 
Jim, I have used IMR 4895 with 75 Grain A Max bullets. This combination was used to set a 11lb gun record @ 1000 yds @ UNSC. 80 grain bullets should work well in your combination.. Carl
 
I have had good success with 32.5 grains of H4350 and 80 grain SMK's in an a few 8 twist Kriegers.

Carl........congratulations on the 1000 record. What was your load?

Gary.........what was your seating? In lands? Do you know velocity?

Thanks Much. Jim
 
Jim,

You need to try H380 or AA2700............... Boy it works FINE for me..!
 
Jim, the load was 29.2 grs of IMR 4895 and 75 gr AMax( Moly) bullets.
 
I do seat mine at jam length. I don't remember the velocity for sure, but I have 2930 in my mind. I have been shooing this combination in IBS 600 yard matches for the past 3 years in 2 different guns and it has worked well for me.

Thanks Gary
