Hi all, went back to the range to shoot for groups at 100 yards. I switched to Federal 215 primers at Jeffeosso's recommendation since even though my current load of 570g TSX, 103g H4895 is near max by my A-Square manual, case density is still kind of low. Velocity averaged out to 2250 fps (75 fps faster than the same powder charge with my Rem 9 1/2M primers!). I shot two consecutive 3 shot groups at 100 yards. The first group measured 1.5" center to center including one "flyer" (I definitely pulled it a bit). The second group measured just under an inch center to center. The next time I go out, I'll put a 1/2" diameter bright stick on bullseye on the targets since I believe it's my lack of consistency of hold that's opening the groups up. I finished sighting in after shooting these groups and set it at 2" high at 100 yards which puts me dead on at 25 yards and 165 yards and 3" low at 200 yards. All in all I'm happy with this load as good enough to hunt with until North Fork comes out with their 600g Softpoints! I think a North Fork 600g Softpoint at 2300 fps will be sweet. Chuck |
