[QUOTE="lamiglas, post: 476091, member: 11075"] Just thougt i would post some results. first of all, We ended up going with the 162 grain amax. this was mostly because they fit his budget, and i could get them. also, he had on hand some reloader 22. i loaded up 3 at each 1/2 grain increment from 62 to 66 grains. I shot them all at 100 yds in the dirt, harris bipod and rear bag. i have used this method several times with great success. i am not worried about throwing a shot, because if two dont shoot good, 3 wont for sure. if two are touching and one is out i may revisit that load. to the nearest .25 they shot 62 -1.75 62.5 -1.5 63 -.75 63.5 -1.25 64 -1.5 64.5 -1.75 65 -1.5 65.5 -1.25 66 -.75 even though the 66 shot well, we decided to go with the 63 grain load for other reasons. I then loaded up 6 more at 63 grains and shot two 3 shot groups .75 and .5. estimated velocity, fired up exbal, and shot at 525. was about 4 inches low, validated velocity, and then fired a 3 shot group at 525. shot approx .75 moa at 525. The wind came up, ran out of powder, and my atv broke down, so we called it a day (broke a gear!) will go out next time and see what we can do at some further distances. thanks for all the information.
