I broke it in and got the scope somewhat dialed yesterday with some factory 129gr Hornady SSTs. It was raining and snowing like crazy, so I just wanted to get it close in order to test out some reloads. Called this close enough.

Then last night I built my first hand loads with the Barnes TTSX 120gr, COAL of 2.720". and 39-43gr of IMR4350 with WLMR primers.

Obviously the gun likes 41gr and hates 39!


I wouldn't draw a single conclusion with that one good group -

Your others are all really bad. If there is a node, it's not much of one at the good group and is too narrow. I'd be a bit leery. YMMV....

I'd shoot again multiple times at distance too -
