Which load?

[Dale264]

Newer to the 6br world. All groups are 5 shots out of a 24” straight 6br at 100 yards. Would you focus on the 30gr load or look more into the 29.1gr load and lower? Any estimates on velocity? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Not for competition and may double as a hunting load.

Here is what I would do. Loads all had vertical except the 30.0. Reshoot the 30.0 to see if it stays with minimal vertical. If it does I would seat a bullet with a square mark on it from the rifling shoot 2shots. Start backing the bullet into the case .003 at a time. When you get 2 in the same hole shoot a third , if it goes in the same hole repeat that for another 3 shot group when you get to back to back 3 shot groups in the zeros or low ones your getting to a good spot. At that point decide if a tenth or so more or less will improve or hurt. You might also go to 5 shot groups , if they stay in the middle ones, you got it. Of course to this with flags so your shooting in a consistant wind. If the wind doesn't matter, you have a hummer. FIRST... before all the above reshoot your 30.0 load being careful with flags to shoot in the same condition, if you maintain the good vertical and the horizontal is cone during consecutive groups you might be there right now. Use flags, dont hold off but besure your shooting in a consistant condition.. NOW if its not good go to the top.

That sure is a strange target, but seems to work for you, nice shooting! Might I suggest a name change to Dale243?
