I have the same rifle. I'm about to pass some things I learned about it. Feeding. The Magpul mag it came with is picky about what it'll feed cleanly. ELDM feeds beautifully. Everything else I've tried is horrible. MDT poly mags work great. Problem is they fit extremely tight. Like, difficult to get them to seat and release. Carefully sanding down the mag catch with sanding sticks solves this. They seat easily and drop easily but still don't have front to back slop. Sand a little bit at a time and test frequently until they fit just loosely enough. Mcarbo trigger spring is a worthwhile upgrade. And easy to install. Hornady American Gunner is very accurate for the distances I have access to, and it's significantly cheaper (like 40 cents or more per round) than their match ammo. The best group I've ever shot was using it. 0.37" for five shots off of a bipod and rear bag. The Magpul high ceek piece kit is available and pretty reasonably priced. Helped me a lot with eye alignment with the cheek weld I want to achieve.
Those might be berger hollow point boat tail bullets That's what most people use that are reloading for match grade, long range ammo. That is what I use with hodgdon 4570 and lapua brass. Seems to work the best for me and my rifle
I started reloading around Covid, was only trying to go long maybe a year before that. It’s been a progression. Built the REM 700 up with new chassis and other gadgets, but the Ammo has set it off. factory ammo is crap. I’m now shooting less than 1 moa at 700 yards consistently with Hornady 168gr. ELD in front of 44grains of 4064… it’s an amazing feeling.
40.5 grains of h-4350 is a safe load, but be very cautious about shooting someone’s reloads. Most of us like to load close if not into the lands. Every rifle is different, and lots of people like to chase speed, which means hot loads!
I just got into reloading and it’s fun, I don’t make precision loads, just factory style loads bc I have a bucket of old brass. It helps me shoot for cheap and I can slightly light load bc most of my rifles are quite old. Next side quest is casting bullets to make it even cheaper
@@iloveshootingshit all in what you like, I guess. I'm a hunter so I choose 25-06 or 308. Good old school traditional hunting cals. Just never got all the creed hype

They look like Sierra’s to me.
Theyre sierra match grades

Those bullets look more like the sierra match kings. Not sure what weight but probably 140-147 grains. Either that or the Hornady Match bullets.
Most definitely a sierra match king boat tail possibly 140grain

I have the same set up as you do. I was. Loading some bullets real long and they wouldn't feed after I shortened them up. They feed perfectly now.
My gun just barely feeds. Like with anything
@@iloveshootingshit Then you have a different problem probably.
My american only likes to feed from the mag

I would bet on a berger vld
ANOTHER creedmore video...
That's been my biggest project lately. Hopefully I will get other content soon
