Hello, I am brand new to this site and to bench shooting. I had a couple questions and figured I would take this chance to introduce myself.
I have a 6ppc with 1 - 14 twist barrel. I have been shooting 70 smk's and I am not very excited about the results as of yet. I started with Varget (I heard it handled temperature swings the best) and have since changed to H322. It seems to group a bit better but not much. Are the 70's too heavy for that twist? I am sure a lot of my problem is me.
I am shooting almost exclusively at 300 yards at this point and looking for a bit of load development advice. I am in a winter league so tempos range from 5-35 degrees. My current load is:
70 SMK
H322 @ 26.5 gr
Norma Brass
CCI 450 primer
I am loading about .003 off the lands.
Any advice would be great and thanks for all of the information I have already sponged from the site.
