I been on and off again on load testing for my various mil surp rifles. mainly light,cheap plinking rounds. I do want a good 200 yard load for my 1903a3 and 303. Finally getting around to more testing and up until now the results have not been very good.
until yesterday.... several different powders and charge wieghts then like magic these to loads got my interest.
1st 200 gn lee 209 200 R with 30 grains varget. 5 5shot groups and all under 2.75"
the 3 rd group was the best 100 yards iron sights set @ 300
2nd lee 150gn flat nose with 16 grains 2400, I shot 3 groups with this load and the other 2 where 2.10" and 2.67"
the shift in poa vs poi impact between these loads was the most I experienced so far in reloading. I held center of the 6" bull.
I will take this all day long. These are good groups fpr me even with a known good rifle and ammo!!
now i need to get the groups in the 10 ring!
