Well one advantage of having had three weeks leave and exclusive access to a 900 yards rifle range 2.5km from my back door is that I can race out and check loads.

Recommended loads with jacketed projectiles and 2206H/H4895 are:
51 grains (2,130) to 56.5 (2,405)

I took 60% of the max load which came to approx. 35 grains 2206H/H4895. My cast FN projectiles were seated so the GC was level with the base of the case neck and the start of the shoulder. A single circular woolen wad was placed on top of the powder column and seemed to hold it stable. This gives off a distinctive lanolin smell once fired (and burnt). Cases are Norma, Primers Rem 9 1/2. I set up my target at 50 yards for these resuls.

35 grns 1.710" group in a vertical line
36 grns 1.480" in a perfect, neat, triangle
37 grns 2.535" again in a straight line
38 grns 2.305" triangle

My chronograph is currently with a fellow forum member so I couldn't measure velocitys. If the 36 grain load holds to 3" at 100 yards I'd be happy.

What should I do now ? Keep increaing the charge of powder ? I'm happy to try 2208/Varget. Should I add more tin and make the projectiles harder ?
