[QUOTE="SQ Stalker, post: 293637, member: 18663"] I plan to progress into cold bore testing further down this road. As for shooting at further distances, my range is only 200 yards and today I was debating between 100 and 200 and decided on 100 b/c most of my shots will be in this range, while the occasional food plot shot will be further. Today I shot 30 rds total (10 foulers and 20 test rds) w/ seating depths @ .010, .050, .090 and .130 off the lands. I started w/ clean bore, shot 2 foulers then 4 rounds, one at ea. depth & ea. corresponding target. After the 6 round I'd clean and repeat for a total of 5 strings, (5 shots at 4 depths & 4 targets). I took be 3 hours to shoot 30 rds total. Times for 6 shot strings=avg 35 min:35,45,43,21,30. The last two were a little rushed from closing time. I also rotated the depth I started the string on, having only .010" starting off twice, to spread bore conditions. Something happened to cause the last two strings to all shoot low and right as seen on target 7 (.090") Conditions: 92 deg F, 5-7 mph Below is the 4 targets: 5= .010", 6= .050", 7= .090", 8= .130". 56gr H4831SC, 150gr VLD, WIN case, BR2 primers [IMG]http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee225/adf25181/JumpTest150VLDs.jpg[/IMG] [B]WHICH TARGET(seating depth) WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE LOAD DEVELOPMENT ONTO DIFF POWDER CHARGES???[/B] I'm leaning towards #7, b/c the first three shots were .456 and the other two if POI were the same aren't bad. Like I say the last two shots on all 4 targets were low and right. I always loctite and torque every screw, all checked out tight after the range closed today? Wind or scope moved? What's the deal with #8, horz is exactly half of the other 3, but width is 146% of the avg of the other 3. And all 5 shots of each group were spread out evenly over 3 hours, so I can't see wind affecting this group that much more? Just trying to interpret all the data I can. Please excuse the lengthy post just don't want to leave anything out:D [/QUOTE]
