That was just one by-the-book test load and 10 shots with no cool down. The first 3 shots went though space barely bigger than one of the small squares which is kind of why I did 10 shots. I'm making several more test loads tonight along with trying H4895 to see if a slightly faster powder might help. I using a 4-12x40 ProStaff so even 100yds is plenty close with my vision.

Gotcha Clames. I'm guessing those are 1/2" squares? So c to c on first 3 shots would be 1/2" or less. Definitely could get under 1 MOA @ 100 with cool down.

It's where the first two go that counts. Especially when shooting mountain type rifles with light barrels that heat up quickly. Heavier barrels may be good for one or two more but why-nothing is hanging around that long to see if you can put a bullet in it .
