Next move.......

I tumbled the brass, annealed, full length sized, and went 2 thou tighter on the neck bushing.

Then did the same tests with both Bergers, H-4350, and switched to Fed 205M's.

Conditions were beautiful, 80* and almost zero wind.

Interesting, in the top row, the 1st two groups were left of center, I gave the scope 1 click to move it over, next group was centered, 4th group was right, so I clicked it back to center up the last group, which topped at a 3143 fps average. Middle group at 40 grains had the smallest ES at 13 fps, 41 had 17.

41 grains with the Hybrids topped out at a 3144 fps average, with an ES of 3.

I finished up with a 5 shot group (center left) with 40 grains, VLD, & 7 1/2 combo. 1st shot went low, the last 4 went into a flat inch.
