Wind started coming up so I just shot a couple 3 shot groups at 200 just cause. Not much gained but got some practice in.

Don't ask why I had left to right wind and all my shots were 2" left at 200 yds :)
I should be more attentive even up close

Scope setting was on 1.4 mil the whole time. Try to do my ladders at 500 and seating depth at 300. Many ways to do it, but it works well at my range the way its setup.
ok thats kind of strange how those thre rounds headed north that much.and the last two shots discount a flyer.your tube seems to not like that bullet.I think if it were me i would set them aside for a while. But that is me good luck with them. but im sure round count could be in play. How many rounds should one use to dial in a certain type of bullet is the question?

Very productive day. Shot a finer powder test at 500. Did 3 each of 90.4,90.7,91.0,91.3,91.6
Calm conditions. What charge are you guys thinking for the seating depth test?
 
I would try 91.3 and after working with this bullet awhile I'd do a seating depth test with .010, .015, and .020" off
 
Sounds good to me. I am not use to having finicky loads. I had to machine some comparators for the bullets :)
 
In my 338 Edge, and when using 285 Elds or 300 Bergers, RL33 worked the best at max pressure.
Below that, Id get inconsistent velocities and inaccuracy. And the powder left the barrel pretty dirty. At peak pressure ES was great along with accuracy.
