Default RE: Reloading observation

Yea, he made me look bad. Mossy, I was compaining about my 7mmSTW groups, but after going home and measuring all groups center hole to center hole, besides one 78gr H1000 group was below 1MOA. I guess looking at your dime sized groups, made me feel bad.

I would load up 9 rounds of each of your tightest. Remember yesterday was balls cold, so performance may change a tad with 70 degree weather.

That way, you can evaluate 3 3shot groups to help you better form an opinion. Another thing I would do is move out to 300 yards. Sometimes this tells the tale. Wish we got the chrono cranking yesterday, another data point for ya. The audette method the other poster was referring too really only works great with no wind conditions (unlike we had yesterday) and at further distances. 300 yards would be perfect. Remember, he uses a entirely different class of rounds like 223, etc. so sometimes its easier for him to use the audette method.

I hate to say this, but sometimes I make my decision on which one I can get powder for easiest. But both loads are equally able to get powder for all over. Thats teh reason I use H1000 for everything. I got 8lb of it. When we doing it again?

rost, you ought to add that 15K round thing to your signature, so you don't have to keep writing your shooting resume every post.
