I usually don't post, because I am a novice. However, from reading the posts on this site I have learned allot.
Last weekend, I was testing the 245 and 285 Spitfire.
Synthetic Stainless 10 MLII
Winchester 209 Primers
43 grains of SR 4759 measured
factory supplied sabots
90 degree heat
100 yds
The 245 Spitfire formed a 1 7/16 group after 3 shots. I then tried the 285 Spitfires. 1st 2 shots where approx. 1/2 inch. The next 2 shots didn't hit the target. I notice both shots hit the ground approx 30 yds from the target.
I shot the 245 Spitfire a fourth time, hitting right in the 1 7/16 grouping. I am shooting approx 3 1/4 inches high at a hundred yards. I moved the target out to 200 yds. It hit 3 inches to the right at 3 o'clock.
My question is what happen with the 285 Spitfires? I used the same procedure and time between all the shots. I thought that the 285 Spitfires were going to be my hunting load after the 1st 2 shots.
