[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 725763, member: 2011"] [b]Re: Load test 3 what do you think?[/b] I think you are to a point where 3 shot groups aren't enough to make a quality decision. I'd suggest going a bit over 46 grains but if you are at maximum you are at maximum. The reason for the suggestion is that I have found when the group is horizontal as with the 45.2 - 100 yd group then symmetrical as the 46 - 100 yard group, the next step up may well shot a vertical tread. Showing the load the rifle likes as the 46 grain load. The 200 yard targets show a bit of a shift in the formation of the 45.2 grain load from horizontal to vertical. A lot of things could cause that. The 200 yd 46 grain load shows better potential than the 45.2 grain load. Why the flier? Who knows?:) I'd consider loading 5 each of the 45.2 and 46 grain loads and shoot them round robin being calm cool and collected the whole time.:) Then make the decision. In reality you can't go too far wrong for hunting purposes with either one. Don't shoot too much. A callus on the trigger finger causes fliers.:D [/QUOTE]
