I'm a new Reloader and have loaded up charge weight test back when it was cold in January. I tested those loads multiple times and have been extremely happy. My LTR is shooting right around .3" at 100 yards and my son's Rem Varmint is at around .6" at 100 yards. I did switch his factory stock to an H-S Precision so we are both "starting over".
HOWEVER, with more knowledge and research and a few changes to my sons rifle I am starting load development over. Not because of lack of results but knowledge and accuracy potential.
Both rifles are 223 Rem. My LTR is a 9 twist and my son's Varmint is a 12 twist. I loaded 26 gr Benchmark with a 40 gr Ballistic Tip.
I loaded 4 rounds each at .05 off thru .09 of lands (Hornady OAL gauge to find lands). The short bullet doesn't allow me to try any closer to lands than .05.
We shall see what we learn. LOL
