Congratulations!  Guess you don't need 150 grains of powder to get the job done!


Good eating ;)

i started out with 80 worked up to 120 at about 105 there was a definite increase in the size of my group really noticeable at 120, i was less concerned with MV than the a accurate load, at 100 i was 1.5" high,  on at 150, 6" low at 200, 1.5 high at 50. spent a lot of money of bullets but worth it
