plumb bob wouldn't help at our range as it would be angling off to the side because of the winds!!!
Good shooting!!
Impressive shooting waco. That 30XCB mold has been on my " need to get" list for a while now. I see that you are using RX15, have you tested that boolit with IMR4064 or Varget?
Very nice Waco!
I bet the 2 high shots are from bbl. heat as you said.... The main group is very stable and the high shots are in line with that group.
My sporter weight 308 bbl. does the same if it gets too hot on a longer string like that.
When I slow the shot rate a bit, they go right back in the group on 10 shot stings @ 2450 fps. And the xcb boolit.
How much more speed do you think is left for the rl15 powder?
Huh, I was of the belief that the wind pushes the whole bullet to the direction it's blowing rather then turning the nose to that direction. If it turned the nose Wow could you imagine how far off target the bullet would be then? Think about it, when you're driving your truck or car and a very strong wind hits your vehicle from the side does it make it steer off the road? No.

I bought a pound of H414 to try out.

Okay,thanks Waco. Good luck with the h414 too. That was a great powder for the 7/08 with jacketed, but i haven't tried it with cast in the .308.
Me neither. It’s a new powder to me.

Windage is highly complex. See McCoy. Rinker's book formulas are useless. Forum discussions on windage tend to be at the latter level.
I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.

Do you trust your casting thermometer?
