ok this am i shot 5 three shot groups. when i plotted the ladder, it was pretty much a straight line, no plateaus..so i just picked the 4 top load plus one at .2 gr over 100% fill.
mild left right wind
39.3 0.729
39.6 0.536
39.9 0.230
40.2 0.022
40.4 2.05
so i cannot tell a lie .0.022 is a 2 shot group...operator error put the first shot on the wrong point of aim
so 39.9 and 40.2 will get retested, and some seating depth tests

My 1st response was to your initial load at 2880 as better than a dasher in the wind at 600.
Now you want to get into a dick measuring contest.
I'll pass, thanks......
no i said the rifle and cartridge were designed to beat the dasher in mild winds..i never siad the 2880 was THE ANSWER...you just jumped in with both feet.
i was at the last 2 years 1k nationals, were you there ??
so unless you go to the nationals or come west we will never shoot against each other..
and so no you have not beat me...numbers on a computer to not count..match results count

I'm 20th on the all time rankings, you don't get there with 2nd places.
Where are you again?
so i tried testing rl17 today BUT went back to my original light neck tension..and it appears to have been a mistake..out of seven groups from touch to 15 off and 39.9/40.2...only one group is worth measuring. will reshoot with the heavier (.0025) neck tension.
so finally got a chance to reshoot the 17 with the original neck tension.
what a waste of time and money
not sure what to try next
