« on: January 18, 2009, 12:38:04 PM »
Puting together a 16" 6.8 Rem. bull on a G2 frame with a choate folding stock. It is so sweet looking and will fit in a backpack. I have ssa small primer hulls and Hor. 110 Vmax . Anyone have a pet load for this kind of a puppy?

I've got the same setup with an 18" barrel.
29grs of H322 and a 110gr sierra prohunter will shoot one hole groups V-max's go about 1"
Took a deer with mine this year 70yrd neck shot Dropped in its tracks.
Good luck with your rifle.
