I just conjured up a load for my Ruger 77ST, 30-06, old tang safety model, mounting a fairly new Weaver Classic K6X38 scope that I don't think I'm going to tinker with anymore (yeah right smile

It's no screamer but it's really accurate. 48.5 grains of IMR4064 behind a Sierra 165 HPBT Game King in a Federal case, CCI 200 primer, OAL 3.200. I'll get around to measuring it's speed soon.

Several 3 shot groups into nearly one hole or maybe I better call it 1/4" capable if I really do my part. This is unusually very good for me and this rifle.

My question is; the zero for this load is about 1/8" inch from the center of the aiming point at 100 yards. Any idea where this bullet will impact center because of spin drift, if it ever will? ......Thanks, JJ
