Not the greatest day for testing new bullets with winds from the 8 o'clock from 14-18 mph. but the good thing about that is at our range, that wind direction dampens the vertical out pretty well. If you see vertical on the target, it's either gun handling or tune up related.
Not a great pic but you can see my grey bench mat and blue towels blowing around.
Gun is my HV Panda, Kreiger twisted 1:17, chambered by 'Humble' Henry Rivers. Scope is a Sightron 36X45 ED.
This is the first lot 'hot off the press'.
Cores and core seating pressure are still being tweaked. Brass was also new...first firing on it.
There was a bullet of vertical with 32.5 of H4198, a half bullet of vertical at 32.7 and it flattened out nicely at 33.0. I finished up shooting these two 3 shot groups 15 minutes apart to verify if it would repeat and hold POI.
By the time I finished, it was getting hard to keep stuff on the bench top. Next trip will be 5 shot groups as the charge weight goes up.
I'd forgotten just how fun it was to make your own bullets!
Good shootin' -Al
