Default My first sloppy hole!!

Been breaking in the new Savage 12 in 204 and have had plenty of sub MOA 100 groups, but the goal has been to make clover leafs. Yesterday I shot this group with 21.8 grains of IMR 4198 and a 39 grain SBK. Center to center was .18! This must be a great bullet for this gun because one other thing happened that I have never had happen. I loaded the full range from 20.0 to 22.0 per the book, and all the groups shot less then 1.25 and several had bullets touching. Most of the time loading full range for me I have some groups that are close and then one end or the other is hand size. This was only a three shot group and now I will go back and try to repeat and work on a five shot group. Just wanted to show my first one. Thanks to all who have helped with this reloading adventure.
