Well I took my first set of reloads out today and I think I did well for myself. I say that becausethis was my firsttime shooting for groups so I know that the gun and reloads shoot better then I do.I haven't shot in a while and in the meantime I have floated the barrel on my Ruger so I started of with the factory stuff I hunted with last year and got a big suprise. I still have a factory set trigger and it gave me some issues on the first shot of each group usually. I have got to get that fixed.

Here is the breakdown.

Load #1 56.5 gr H4831sc - 2.06''
#2 57.5gr - 3.003''
#3 58.5gr - 2.063''
#4 59gr - 2.081''
#5 59.2gr - .496'' on the first two shot pulled the 3rd to make a 2.593 (Pic)

The Kicker was the factoryHornady 140gr SPBTsgave me a 1.181'' group on a hot barrel.

I am going to load some more of the 59.2gr and play with the COAL this week. I have a COALof 3.320 now and will bump it out to 3.330 and see what happens.
