185 Hybrids. Interesting Target.

All,
Thought I'd post an interesting target from today.
200 yards. Cold and very windy from right to left.
(Most of my .308 testing to date has been with 155 Scenar-Ls and the 185 Juggernaut.)
---
185 Hybrids pointed, Varget, CCI 450, Palma 4th firing, pockets uniformed, 0.001 NT, 0.3343 loaded round, 0.340 neck, 29" LV 11T, 0.157 FB, 4 groove Kreiger.
Apologies on the 2-shot groups as this was just to baseline the pressure/velocity differences from my Juggernaut load. Only "mild" pressure signs observed.

The vertical in and between groups is what caught my eye.
Pretty cool to see the point of impact steadily climb from 43.8 to 44.4 and then fall off the cliff at 44.6.
Other than the second shot a 44.2, the velocity spreads were spectacular in my book.
Recoil signature completely changed from unremarkable to a distinct punch that caused bipod hop at 44.4 & 44.6.

Can't tell you how many hours I've spent reading on this forum.
Thanks to all who make this place great.

It's a good start.
44 - 44.2 - 44.4 looks like a good place to poke around. POI hardly moves between those 3 charge weights.
