Woodlander Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi Colin. I'm viewing this on my phone and can't make out the powder you are using. I use Vhit 130 and have settled on 24gr,using 32gr BKs,what powder is it. Couple of good groups there mate,nice one. Mine's also a very sweet shooter.

colin lad Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Am using vhit 120 in the .222 and cfe 223 in the 204 the best groups were for .222 21gr of vhit 120 and for 204 29.5gr cfe 223 using 39gr sbk and for the triple 50vmax Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Will try out the 39/40gr projectiles sometime,have heard they have a longer accurate range than the 32s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-Bore Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 went out Monday to try some new reloads for both my .222 and my new .204 both were at 100 yards i done 5 groups of 3 of each charge weight best 3 groups of 3 of each calibre here the other 2 groups of each were very poor Hi Col The next step is to discover where the accuracy/stability node begins and finishes. In target five (222 50g vmax) it is clear to see that it is close to the node centre. I would test either side by 0.4 moving in 0.2's to fully deduce where the node begins and ends. You can then ensure that you have the node centre and tune it with OAL if required to increase accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
