[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2639817, member: 25377"] For starters, I'm not working with 77gr hammers. I'm shooting 70gr hammer hunters. The varget load was not stable. While it could produce high velocity and 1/2 MOA precision... it was not stable from an accuracy standpoint. The stars aligned and I was able to get some tight clusters, but upon further testing it revealed that some of those "3 shot groups" which I couldn't see 3 bullet holes, probably didn't have 3 bullet holes in all of them. The shots likely landed significantly away from the group, in other bullet holes on a cluttered target. I wish I could say that wasn't the case, but the load just didn't hold up to subsequent firing. When you shoot enough, you'll see things like that... where you think you've got it, and then can't replicate it... because it was actually just statistical noise. ----------- [URL='https://www.instagram.com/primalrights']Follow on Instagram[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/user/primalrights']Subscribe on YouTube[/URL] [URL='https://amzn.to/3txlBnp']Amazon Affiliate[/URL] [URL='http://www.primalrights.com'][IMG]http://primalrights.com/images/signatures/sig1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
