[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 1571394, member: 33915"] Thanks Colin, It didn't quite go as planned as I was spent more time at my local range than planned so didn't make it to the 500 yard range some 50 minutes away. But I did shoot 6 rounds of the Hornady so I took the time to do a H20 test of the 6 rounds. This actually took longer than I thought to really get it right as my scale seemed to be acting up a little. So I actually did it twice but I won't go into all of that. I did number each round so I wouldn't get confused and would be sure if I had to retest I was checking the correct one. Here are my results: Dry Wet Differance 1. 2.640 265.3 101.3 2. 263.4 364.3 100 3. 263.8 364.5 100.7 4.261.7 363.9 102.1 5.263.5 364.5 101 6.262.4 363.5 101.1 In doing this I don't know what is good and what is not. Number 4 looked a little out there but the rest seemed pretty close. I was mostly using the Hornady 28N Cases I reloaded to get my scope set up shooting close to the bull at 200 yards along with a couple 28N Nosler cases . I had orignally set the gun [ATTACH=full]121904[/ATTACH] up to shoot a couple inches high at 100 but at the time was looking more at grouping that trying to get it on the bulls eye. I was suprised to see it hit 4 inches high at 200 with the first shot. But when I got near the bull at 200 I spent 3 rounds checking for accuracy and somehow managed to put 3 rounds In less than 3/4 inches at 200. The last round I shot was a hornady and is touching the top of the bull. The previous shot a little high and left was from a nosler case and was a little off and me adjusting the scope. The holes just above and right of the 6 was 3 rounds of Hornady brass. The other shots was me adjusting the scope prior to the 3 shot group. I had to go to sight in a scope I put on my 300 WM at 100 yards after that. I'll probably work on getting the WM set up tomorrow at 200 yards while checking velocities of the new load for it as it will be my back up rifle for Elk hunting. [/QUOTE]
