Did some shooting today. Most accurate load to date is repeatable. Upped charge wt. by 1 grain. Group turned into a pattern.:-?
Rifle is 1894 Win. 38-55 with 1-18" twist. Boolit is Meister 246 gr. bb, .380".
Would a shorter boolit be worth trying? The most accurate load is showing some yaw in the holes in the paper. The faster load today showed even more yaw.
Higher velocity is out, as none of the stouter loads have grouped. Have contacted powder Co. about safety of further reductions in charge weight.
