It was kind of gnarly for shooting groups today, with wind @ 10 to 15 MPH. I was able to move my range so as to shoot nearly dead into it though, and I don't think it affected me too much.
I cleaned and fired one fouling shot between each group. Been using some stuff called Gunslick CopperKlenz, not because I'm in love with it, it's just what I've got. I just brush with a bronze brush, and dry with a couple patches. Bore seems to be staying pretty clean. I'd admire any advice.
I've got to note that one of the best groups was #5, which I didn't pre-clean for. Hottest load, #4 with 25 grns. still showed no signs of high pressure. I guess I'll keep going up by a couple tenths to see if it is improving. Aside from that it looks like the best charge is the two lowest charges.
These aren't the bug holes I'm after yet, but I think I'll get there. jd
