[QUOTE="PBramble, post: 3426837, member: 5778"] Got another box of bullets, so I'm covered for hunting season I think. Took it out this past weekend and tried 65 grains of IMR4198. Didn't chronograph these, but I'm currently sitting at a 3 inch difference between 100 and 200. It brought my 200 zero up around 12 to 14 inches. There was another gentleman with one of these at the range and he was shooting 71 grains of H4198 and the difference was almost another foot. Holy crap theses things get real flat with a good powder charge. The recoil difference was definitely noticeable between 60 and 65 grains, but not so much between 65 and 71. He's shot this for years and it was recommended to him by his builder, so I'm not afraid of over pressures. No pics of the targets, but they were clover leafs at 100 and 200. I think I'm where I want to be and will get back out to get some velocities to work up a range card. Then on to verification. This is a fun hobby to get into for sure. [/QUOTE]
