henry d Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Cheers guys, lots of good ideas and help has enabled me to get some good loads rolled. Presently the .222 has printed well under 1/2" @ 100 for 3 slightly different weights of powder and the 6.5 is printing .6" @ 100 with a rushed session of loading. Again many thanks to you all and I will see if I can tweek both a little bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well done, now leave it alone and go shooting H Don't become a 'garyb' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Just need to get another 1/8" closer............... As I say the 6.5 was a rushed job but performed well for the competition, I on the other hand let the side down and as for the triple, well those foxes etc. need to be hit well after my last escapade so the less variables the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Reloading seems to be a law of deminishing returns. The .223 loads I quickly cobbled together to use up all the bits and pieces I couldn't sell/post turned out to be the best ones ever, work that one out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I guess it depends how anal you want to be about it all.. For me - nothing more than an afternoon's testing of length, put me under 1/2inch at 100 yards The 3 dead foxes I shot last night didn't give two hoots about the state of my trigger or even how windy it was.
