So now I get to start my load development over ...
Been chasing MOA sized groups in my Howa mini 223. Found several loads that will go 1.25-1.5, but getting under that 1" mark has been elusive
Noticed the other day that the first 3 shots of a 5 shot group were in a nice sub 1/2" group, and then the next 7 shots opened things up to 1.5ish
Today I tried same load but instead of a shot every 15 secods or so (which I do even with my Savage single shot bolt gun) I slowed it down to one shot every two minutes - first one I called as a flyer and following 4 went into a nice 1/2" circle
So now I get to go thru my notes and retry 4 or 5 loads that were in that 1.25-1.5" range. But not until I check bedding and free float issues
