Why the minus .224?
Whoop's,.. should be Minus .244 ( 6 MM ) my bad !
So it's,.. .462 -.244 = .218 Ctr to Ctr for the Group size.
Thanks, JD,.. that's even, better !
Don't get Old, guys !

My Groups SHRUNK about, a 1/4 MOA from, using New, Norma Brass to, Once Fired ( Fire Formed ) Brass, shot in my Rifle and setting them "Back" with, approx. .001 / .002 of, Shoulder "Bump" in my Forster Dies.
I also tried, 2 Different, Bullet, "Jump's" at, .035 "off" and at, .010 " off", the Lands. The shorter Jump seemed BEST, in My Criterion Barrel with, the .104 Freebore and the 107 gr. MK's.
Of course, I'm just getting started ( tho, a VERY promising Load, so far ) I will need to, Test further at, 200 and 300 Yards to see if this, IS, "the Load" !
I'm using, Winchesters StaBall Powder, "Thrown" charges, in VERY Cold weather, F-210 Match Primers.
I started at about, 3 grains of Powder LESS than, the 6 Creedmoor ( Hogdon Data for, 107- 108's ) and worked, upwards. Seems to Me that, Bullet seating dimensions and Careful case sizing, ARE, the "Keys" to, accuracy,
THAT and, a crisp, light, 1 Pound Trigger pull, from, My Jewell Trigger, Help's,.. THANKS,.. Larry S. !

Tested the Barnes 112. No load workup. Just put 38.6 and 39.6 and 20 jump, brand new brass right out of the bag.
Horrible switching winds. These things shoot in the bad conditions. Wow.
