I've been developing a load for my 30-06 and I'm having a hard time getting the groups to tighten up (it's a given my talant is weak at best).
Load- 53.3 grains Hog4350, CCI BR2 primer, 190 gn Sierra BT Matchking, .002" jump, brass is trimmed and kneck turned.
Velocity- 2622 avg, High Low variations range from 2605-2641 (2641 being a cold barrel)
Barrel- 1.21 thick, 1:12, 24" long, (Not chambered real tight, I can get factory ammo in it).
Groups vary from .491" to 1.375" (indoors @ 100 yds)
Optics- Sightron SIII 8-32x56
Questions;
1. Is my Velocity (2622 fps, 190gn) ok or should I try to get it higher. No signs of over pressure yet.
2. What bullet jump do you expect will work out the best? I ran it out .005" .010" .015" and the groups got bigger so I keep it about .002" off the lands.
Any advise will be appreciated,
Thanks
