[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 760004, member: 59915"] Shot some of my test loads. Just 4. I originally loaded 6 at 50 grains and 6 at 51 grains of 4831SC. Of each 6, 2 were loaded at. 3.00" (.02 off the lands), 2 at 2.98", and 2 at 2.95". I started with the 50 grains at 2.98" which shot about 1-1/8'' group. I noticed the primers were just begining to flatten at 50 grains but no stickyness in the bolt. I keep hearing about .04 to .075 off the lands so the next group I shot was the 50 grains at 2.95" and they shot awesome. I measured the group with my digital calipers at .23" center to center on the bullet holes. I'll pull the 51 grain loads since the 50's started to flatten primers and load some more 50 grain loads at 2.94, 2.95, and 2.96". I think a 3 shot group of each will do. I'll keep you posted. Maybe if weather permits I'll shoot these tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
