[QUOTE="SQ Stalker, post: 293828, member: 18663"] Thx for the suggestion on the targets they work pretty good for the thick reticle on my Monarch 6-24X BDC. [B]Which program do you use to make the targets, it sounds like a good idea?[/B] The groups are as follows, 5=1.6; 6=1.3; 7=1.7; 8=1.8. Combined w/ the two 3 shot groups at ea setting earlier in the week, the avg ctc groups are; .010=1.19; .050=1.06, .090=1.5, .130=1.96. The avg dist to center of the 3 groups: .010=.55; .050=.41, .090=.50, .130=.61. I think having the best CTC, ATC, and having the best three shot goup of .465 I'm going to go on to different powder charges with .050" seating depth. The first three are pretty close. After I go + or - .5gr on powder and find the best high velocity node, I think I'll go back and change seating depth + or - .010", then + or - .005". Then at .050" I might try the medium loads for RL 19 & IMR 4350 and see if they are much better. Also from this point on I'll be using fire formed brass. [B]For hunting reliability is it a good rule of thumb to use once fired brass??[/B] That way I can just neck size and not have to worry about brass life and the shoulder shouldn't be an issue chambering. Any additional info or recommendations are more than welcome Thanks Adam [/QUOTE]
