[QUOTE="Monteria, post: 2003828, member: 115565"] 84.2 is in fact a little bigger than 2" triangle. I know all shots in that group were well executed. Not perfect because I'm not, but not pulled either. RE bullet selection, I'm a heavy weight kind of guy. That bullets weight and BC make it formidable and I want to see how far I can stretch it. I also assumed I'd be able to get enough velocity to keep it stable. That assumption looks suspect at this point in testing though... Bullet choice #2 is the 205gr Elite Hunter. I already have some on hand and the shorter nose profile means I'll have some more room to tune seating depth too. My range has concrete benches. They are at least stable and I try to position myself as consistently as possible, but I also know that I'm no pro. At this point I'm just trying to use a methodical approach to starting load development. This was 100% square one so I wasnt expecting great groups yet. Next weekend I'm going to push it up another grain. I'm also now leaning toward doing a 6 load OCW test with the 205s also. Or maybe I'll ditch these and go strait to the 205s. The extra weight isnt going to do me any good if I have no room for seating adjustment or the velocity to keep it stable. Decisions decisions... [/QUOTE]
