[QUOTE="philsummers21, post: 1247678, member: 19989"] Ok. I'm fairly new to long range shooting. But I'm getting very hooked. Im not new to reloading but am new to reloading for long range. With my 22-250 I'm having an ES of 20-30 fps in 5 shot groups. I've played with powder charges and seating depth and blah blah blah. But when I get low ES my groups open up. So how do you find that balance. Plus what's good ES. And at what range does it really start to play a factor. I know it's a 22-250 and won't shoot extreme distances. But so far I've found a load I really like, shoots well. But has around 20 ES Here is my 100, 200, 300 groups [IMG][URL=http://s1115.photobucket.com/user/philsummers21/media/Mobile%20Uploads/A37D1434-8405-481B-BD3D-7058A9B8F318_zpsm80jb6jj.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k544/philsummers21/Mobile%20Uploads/A37D1434-8405-481B-BD3D-7058A9B8F318_zpsm80jb6jj.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1115.photobucket.com/user/philsummers21/media/Mobile%20Uploads/5E348378-BD80-41F4-B92C-4564BFE57972_zpsgqmjco4q.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k544/philsummers21/Mobile%20Uploads/5E348378-BD80-41F4-B92C-4564BFE57972_zpsgqmjco4q.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1115.photobucket.com/user/philsummers21/media/Mobile%20Uploads/6AF9888A-E719-480A-B21E-F5168E5A4B9E_zpslgr2wfax.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k544/philsummers21/Mobile%20Uploads/6AF9888A-E719-480A-B21E-F5168E5A4B9E_zpslgr2wfax.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [/QUOTE]
