The first load that I worked with, I stopped right there! I might be able to improve upon that…..but, why waste components? memtb

Shot my Guide gun today. The load I was concerned with is a BB Piledriver jr. going 1679 fps at the muzzle.

I was wanting to try a 25 yard zero at first. With the scope 1.75" high and dead on at 25 yards, it should've been about an inch high at 50 and 75 yards and just a smidge low at 100, making this load very usable for its' intended purpose, hammering big animals at close range.

I fired the first group and thought "That's about as zero as I'll get". Results pretty much matched prediction, so I'm happy.

Load is a Beartooth Bullets Piledriver jr. (alas, no longer available), CCI 200 primer, 47 grains H322, and Starline brass.
