Hey folks,
I was up at Ivythorn Sporting over the weekend to try out some deer loads and was pretty pleased with the results so thought I'd share!
The target below was shot at 100m with moderator on and I wasnt focussed on POI so much as the grouping. I definitely dont feel like I was shooting my best that day but it is what it is.
The load was 45gn of RS52, a Hornady 165gn Interbond, Lapua brass and CCI primers seated to 2.795".
I'm pretty happy with this as a group so am planning to make a batch up to get some practice in with this load. Any tips at this point to how I could tweak the load/COAL to tighten the grouping up a bit?
I'm also off on a boar trip at the end of the year so I'll need to see how this load performs without the moderator on and hopefully its not all over the place! Any thoughts on how I can ease the transition to shooting sans moderator?
Cheers,
Stu
