[QUOTE="TMill308, post: 2471442, member: 92888"] The only time I shoot groups is during load development and even then it is not very often. I primarily shoot with iron sights and generally do a long range ladder test to identify the powder charge and then tweak seating depth to control the vertical. My goal is sub x ring elevation at 1000 yards, but with the .223 most of my shooting with it is at 300, 500 qnd 600 yards. I just put a new Brux 7 twist 30 inch barrel on the .223 Palma rifle and with the LR chamber the 85.5s are seated out pretty far. So far they seem to like about .050 jump with N140 and H4895. The velocity window seems to be between 2875 and 2900 with that bullet. [/QUOTE]
