53gr V-Max

Here's the results from today's experimentation. Targets set out at 121 yards with a 7mph 45 degree crosswind. All shots were 5 shot groups:

Powder weights from 25.2 - 25.6gr



COAL adjustment using 25.1gr which I figured had the best potential following yesterday's results.



Think I'll stick with 25.1gr with a COAL of 2.290". I'm confident what little vertical stringing there was, was in fact down to me. It would've been helpful to have a finer dot to use as an aimpoint.

I'm sure this is a daft question but you are cleaning the rifle thoroughly after each session (not group) and not just using a pull through or some such?

Are you using the rifle for target or foxes? If foxes then all those shot today will kill it.

Yeah, it always gets a proper clean with solvent and patches after every session. The rifle is used mainly for longer range vermin bashing and long range plinking

Nice group and you must be nearing max pressure with that load. Only switched because they didn't have any in stock and there was a 1kg tub on offer for £50. Thought it was worth a punt!
