Thread: Testing a conventional approach to load development

Testing done for the arvo about 56mm outside diamater 10 shot group with the 24gr charge. Looks like I will stick with the targex at this point, half tempted to get a box of 77smk. I've got 20x 80gr targex here that I can also do a test with. Apart from the different projectiles and powder all was the same rest brass etc (new brass checked to fit chamber and measure for trim length, give a visual then load) I had high hopes for the 80gr eldm as I have had good results in other calibers but doesn't look like it's ment to be in this rifle, (I may try again with 2206h) I've never done loads in this sequence before but it's fairly quick and to the point (3 shot groups could have had me fooled into thinking it was 1/2 moa load) ill try get better data with my next lot of testing (the lane with the chronograph setup is usually a bit busy)
