[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2244291, member: 111161"] Congratulations, sounds like you have two really good loads that will work interchangeably in your rifle. I would just pick one and roll with it till you’re out of powder then switch to the other one to keep you going. That is of course if you don’t burn out the barrel first. If you really have to know which one is better, shoot 10 rounds of each at the longest distance you have access to and see which holds the tightest with the least vertical at that distance, preferably 800-1000 yards. Do this on a light wind day if possible to mostly rule out the wind as a factor to group size; but those 156’s at 3000 buck it pretty good. Let your rifle tell you what it wants. The simple temp stability test is a good idea too. I’ve found VV 565 to be very stable between 30 and 85 degrees but have seen a 30 FPS jump on a 95+ degree day. Never tried H1000 but most everyone seems to agree it is one of the most stable available. [/QUOTE]
