Did't read through 50 pages is there an accuracy/round count requirement?

Always interested in a reason to shoot, not much time lately.

New thread or pile on in this one?
New might be cleaner.

5 shots on a 3”x5” card which most people oriented horizontally.
Ranges were shooters choice 100, 200 & 300 yards.

I'd be interested. Only get to shoot once a month or so and don't get to pick the weather but fun none the less.

If a new thread is created the old one needs to be made a sticky for easy refrence. Just to much load data to be lost.

Wedge VS 250 A-Tip. Two completely different challenges for a subsonic load.

On the left is the bullet at 1.87" long, seated at 2.260" and touching the lands at 2.580". Nothing like a .320" jump.

This shows the versatility of the cartridge and what can be learned from the challenge.

Are you guys still shooting these 200 yard groups? I have been trying to find sub loads that shoot well at distance. Lots of good ideas in here but love to see more proven results.

Pretty fun! Shot these right before a thunderstorm, so wind was high. Going to try again with a different load. Me, dad, and God brother all had a competition with each other.
