Finally made it back to the range today to try out some more test bullets for my 300WSM. Was a little breezy but not bad. Switched powders to IMR 4831. Well the best target was at the max from my manual, 67.8 grains. What was interesting was the velocities I got on my crony. 2996, 2997, 2996 and 2973. Manual says I should expect slightly higher but that doesn't surprise me the the actual are slightly slower. Oh, by the way. The other day I bragging on another forum how I hadn't been kissed by a scope for 35 years claiming I'm smarter now. Well, must be slipping into senility 'cause I got it :cry: . Just a little peck mind you but enough to made a little blood. Actually I didn't notice the blood till I got home and looked into the mirror while washing up. I just didn't have a good grip on the rifle for that shot. Another lesson learned
Anyway here's a picture of the target.
