Well, bumped up the LT-32 to a max load w/52 SMK yesterday and took it to a 300 yard score match at the local club. I had figured 50-100 fps gain in velo0city by adding .5 grains. Ballistics said it would be 4.5" needed at chronyed velocities for a 300 zero. Actual adjustment needed was 3 1/4" up to get a solid 300 zero. Load was 23 grains LT and a Fed. Gold medal primer, Norma cases.
With a 4.5" up adjustment, the first 3 sighters went 5" high and 2" right. Round was shot w/o wind flags, or spotting scope as I forgot my tri-pod for said scope
and still managed to keep 15/20 shots around the 10 ring, with the wind pushing me out to the 7 a few times.
Seems like a good consistent powder at distance, but did seem to pick up more velocity than expected.
2 weeks from now we have another shoot, in between time I will have to get the Oehler out and revisit this load and 8208 again.
