[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 100849, member: 3733"] srhaggerty, If the guys are done argueing I'll read your test. The 75gr load 1st target. Shots number 15,16,17 shot into about .5" at 300 yards with a velocity spread of only 21 fps. This is so obvious don't let it bite you in the ***. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Load up with 58.8 grains and shoot some groups. The second target Shots 8,9,10 look to be about 1/2 MOA. But the velocity spread is 85fps. Ignore that velocity for now load up 49.7 grains. Shoot and record your velocity and check group size. If this load groups well and velocity is a little inconsistant do one of 2 things; change your seating deapth slightly "experiment", Or change your primer. Do one or the other not both at the same time. When I load a promising looking load I make at least 10 rounds, that way I shoot them on 2 different days. Sometimes I just have a difficult day concentrating or whatever and reshoot the load another day. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
