[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 390993"] Thanks for the info., gentlemen. Just got back from firing the test and the results are a bit confusing. I shot it at 205 yards with 185gr Berger VLD's starting with 41 grains of Varget up to 44.2 grains - 17 shots. I shot a 3.15" pretty much round group. The lowest charges started to walk up slightly until about 42.8 grains then the group settled and the last 6 out of 7 shots made a 1.65" group. The only exception was the very last round (which showed no pressure signs) but jumped an inch out of the group. So much for a nice ladder. How would you interpret these results? I'm going to now do another test with BL-C2 since I already had them loaded. Would you shoot farther distance or stick with the 205? [/QUOTE]
