Wow, that's a beautiful grouping at that range. Did it take you a while to find that particular load to use?

Yes , it was quitye a while to get just right. Started with Sierra 125's, guess they were too light. Tried Niosler 150 ballistic tips, they were ok, 1 1/3at 100. Never could get em' to grouop well at 200 tho'. since I'm a hunter I try to shoot a lot. so when the chance comes I don't muff it. I also tried different seating depths, crimping. Only 1 powder tho, just Hodgdon. I'm shooting tomorrow. I hope it wasn't a fluke.
