Default Gettting closer to prb

I took my WMC to the indoor range again today. It was pouring rain and threatening to turn to snow so outdoors was out of the question. Buttered up some .018 ticking that my friend gave me and started out with 70 gr 3FGoex. I wasn't seeing any holes and my eyes are still good enough to spot a 1/2 in crater at 50 yd so after 6 shots I pulled the target in for a look.Well... the black spot is 3 in and covers the 8, 9, and 10 and all of the holes were in the black. Generally spread around but the were all in there. I had 20 minutes left on the clock so I said to myself I wonder what 80 gr would do. I got 3 more shots off they were at 6:00 in the 9 ring and touching. Not a clover leaf but 3 side by each. I think I have found my load.
