[QUOTE="Michael J. Spangler, post: 420459, member: 20314"] ok here are the results from the next few loading and range sessions. all shot with dead calm conditions. around 85 degrees outside at 100 yards [url=http://www.spanglercustomknives.com/Spangler_Custom_Knives/Gallery/Pages/Range_Time.html]Range Time[/url] the first two pictures are just copies of what i posted on here. picture 3 was a group .020" off the lands... not pretty at all. but this was shot with a bag in the rear and my range bag in the front, where i normally use the tripod. so i then shot picture 4 with a bag in the rear and the tripod in the front. which was seated a few thousandths too long for a functioning magazine length. seems pretty nice i knew i should re shoot the .020" from the lands to be sure it was the load and not the change in shooting set up that was off. so i did picture 5 is a load that again was .020" from the lands, shot with a rear bag and my tripod to see what i could do. i found this interesting because a load of 85 grains of H1000 seated .020" from the lands produced a very nice group in my first session. pictures 6-10 are bullets seated to magazine lengthish (about .165" from the lands) with powder charges from 86 grains of retumbo to 90 grains of retumbo. all shot with a rear bag and a tripod not quite sure of how to interpret these results. it seemed that my loads anywhere from .080" to .150" from the lands worked out well last time that i shot. now coming back with new loads at .165" from the lands i can't seem to get a decent group. this seems to be a chicken or the egg questions. seems to make sense to find the proper seating depth, then mess with powder charges. but i guess i'm just stuck on where to go next. any help interpreting results would be awesome. i'm not worried about getting everything perfect in any rush, i'm not hunting with the gun and i'm not shooting competition so i'm having just as much fun working out a load, as long as i get the range time. thanks a bunch guys [/QUOTE]
