Thread: Testing a conventional approach to load development

Well I shot those seating depth test rounds and the conclusion is ………

I need to get better at my shooting form and trigger skills
All shot very well ( 17mm / 15mm /18mm ) at 100 yrds with no outstanding best or worst when you take into account my shooting ability and low number of rounds ( 2 x 3 shot groups for each load , those measurements are an average of the two groups )
I’ve come to the conclusion lately that if your Rifle likes the bullet / powder combo it doesn’t matter much about the other stuff .
I’m just going to load up 50 rounds ( of the 15mm load , not because I strongly feel it’s better , but hey why not ) and zero the Rifle with 3 x 10 shot groups and go kill stuff with the other 20 .
I don’t shoot at distances greater than 300 yrds with this Rifle and trying to achieve a genuine 0.5 moa gun is a waste of time when with minimal development I’m confident that 10 round groups will be hovering around the 1 moa + or - a fraction with any of the combo’s tried already
