455 Varmint 20.5" heavy barrel
« on: February 26, 2015, 01:59:58 AM »
saw one today at the shop and was drooling all over it.  was really set on the 455 american until i saw this.  i love the stock on this one and the heavy barrel just feels good.  but being this barrel is shorter, i wonder how it shoots accuracy wise at 100 yards as compared the the 455 American.

hopefully someone who owns both can chime in.. thanks..

Recently bought a 455 Varmint.  Had the trigger modified, added a Boyd's thumbhole stock, reduced the length and threaded the barrel.  All the work was done by the folks at Ranger Point Precision.   Except for the occasional flyer, this rifle really likes Winchester 36 grain CP hollow points.  I get great results when I sort them by weight and rim thickness.  On a good day, groups are .5 inch or less at 50 yards.

Does anyone else like this ammo, or have similiar experience with copper plated hallow points?

Viking499: sorry I thought the American version had a longer barrel. Corrected my original post. Thanks.

USMC Retired: have you tried it at 100 yards?
