Had my first "accuracy" range session today with El Diablo, this was after a sight in yesterday.
I used 8 shots to get on target burning 68.0 grains of Retumbo sending a 180 Berger. (MV of 2,850)

All loads were win brass and win mag primers.

Today's results shooting 3 shot groups.

Group on the far right was my first "official" group.
Load was Ramshot Magnum 71.5 grains for an average of 3,000 mv. It's right on the red line and I may back off .5 grain.

2nd group in the middle were 168 Bergers and 70 grains of Retumbo. I pulled the 2nd shot for the top hole.

3rd group far left were 180 Bergers and 69.5 grains of Retumbo. ES was less than 15 fps at a bit over 3,000 mv.

Had a 10 to 15 mph crosswind I was shooting into.

Promising start and I'm glad I found another powder, RS Magnum, to complement Retumbo for both accuracy and speed.

Next up for tomorrow will be RL 25.
