[QUOTE="Paul E, post: 1978595, member: 113937"] I'm getting 2.2 to 0.0 SD with 4831sc in my Ruger Hawkeye 6.5 PRC...! That's right...0.0 on 3 shot test groups. Now, I know if I shot 10 it won't be a 0.0. But I have been running 1.6, 2.2 SD and ES 6 to 11. But I'm paying very close attention to my Neck Tension!! Closer they are to each other the better ES and SD numbers you'll get. Too many shooters take the neck tension fur granted. It's easy to be accurate with powder, bullet seating case length etc... But if the neck tension tolerance is not maintained as well you will have variations. I run mine at .0015 grip less than bullet size. At 56g I'm getting 2937 avg. and SD/ES of 2.1/6. At 200 yards that makes a .8" inch ..overlapping group. 0.4"MOA... Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
