[QUOTE="Apothus, post: 1203185, member: 96254"] So I loaded up 5 more round of load 52.5, 53, and 54. Went out and shot again today, very early in the morning to avoid any wind. I started with 54 grain load in the bottom circle, each of which is one inch. Cold bore shot was 1/2 inch high, next three rounds were a perfect clover leaf. I got super excited and experienced the "sumb****" shot. Pulled it left. Second group was 53 grains in the top right circle. Stacked 4 rounds all together in 3/4 of an inch. And then that sumb**** came back. Pulled it left again. At this point, I wasn't really caring what 52.5 was because I was pretty set on getting more velocity with pretty good accuracy. I shot it anyway, totally flubbed the first shot, next 3 were ok and blew the 5th shot. Overall, I'm gonna go with the 54 grain load. I think being that little bit off with cold bore, and knowing I yanked the last shot, I think that group is better than the 53 grain load. Would you guys agree with that assessment? I will eventually get some 180 Accubonds for my hunt, but for a fun round/ deer round I like this load pretty well. [/QUOTE]
