    Latest Progress

    I loaded up some Nosler's last night with varying powder levels ranging from 25.0gns - 25.6gns.

    I set the COAL @ 2.260" which measured 1.792" from the Ogive and used FL resized Hornady brass which I'd trimmed, US cleaned and tumbled through my new Lyman Pro 1200

    The best group appeared to be at 25.5gns and I was happy with it considering the wind. Target was set at 126 yards. Now I just need to wait for a calm day and try to replicate it. Perhaps I'll slowly increase the COAL too to find the absolute optimum OAL. It'll do for the foxes for now

    Yeah I'll have a play now I've found a decent powder level was bloody and cold and windy where I was today though. I'm impressed with that little group considering
