and I did not get a definite trend or movement from one group to the next. Not sure what it's telling me.
Tikka T-3X Lite SS, 243 win
95 gr Nosler BT
Loaded RL-23 with the following 4 shot groups:
43.5 gr - 1.3" group, baseline center group used for comparison to the following loads (avg vel = 2904 fps)
44.0 gr - 0.8" group, center is within 1/4" up and left of baseline (avg vel = 2936 fps)
44.5 gr - 0.97" group. center is within 1/4" up and right of baseline (avg vel = 2956 fps)
45.0 gr - 1.25" group, center is level and 1/4" left of baseline (avg vel = 2996 fps)
45.5 gr - 0.59" group, center is level and 1/4" left of baseline (avg vel = 3009 fps)
The instructions say don't get too caught up in individual group size. I think it's just telling me that i'm in a good zone with this powder/load combo and I should just focus on groups 2, 3 and 5. What do you say? I've used this method before with my X-Bolt in 7mm wsm and had good definitive results which absolutely worked as expected.
Thanks
