Thanks, I might get a chance to try the 150 Speers on goats on Boxing day, if it pans out I'll report back.

It's a 1:8 twist Thompson Centre Contender (single shot, light, accurate, poor man's kipplauf) so Oldbloke your advice is declined as "shite". I got the 150 BTSP Speers as advised by nor-west

Speer 150 grain btsp designed for impact speeds that you are looking at I.e. 30-30, 300 savage etc at intermediate range. And they are are Speer, so have good quality and consistency.

I was using adi 2209 with the 162gr in my 18inch 284. Can't recall charge weight or velocity but it grouped OK and took more than a few deer and goats before I rebarreled it

I’ve got 165 grain tgk’s that my rifle won’t shoot that you can try. Yours might like them. Some reloader 19 and 2209 as well if you would like to try something different

Superformance is double based. It's going to be more temperature sensitive and is not going to give as good extreme spreads and standard deviations as something single based. 20" 284, I used to...

Recently had similar issues in my mates prc and my 284. Mates prc with superformance gave similar results to what you have got. Tracked down some rl26 problem solved. ES 6 and half moa. My 284...

That vertical stringing will be most of the issue, go up/down in powder charges to get a lower es and then play with seating depths if its still not grouping

I’d try some different powder charges, different seating depths or a different powder and see what it’s capable of with those 162’s as they should be fine in a 1:8 twist.

Not quite real world, but GRT suggests around 2600 or so at max charge (SF with 180 ELDM).

Sometimes I think what if I could travel back and take me myself when I was a kid to go for a fishing, and I believe we could have a lot of fun.
