I finally got down to shoot my 378 gr boolit with this powder. The stuff changes rapidly with one gr changes. I started at 33 gr's and hit below the bull, group scattered. 34 gr's hit center bull at 1". 35 was right of the bull and a little worse. 36 was 3" high and scattered. 37 was too hot with sticky brass but shot less then 1" but 2" high left.
Changing the charge makes the groups change drastically and move all over the target. I don't know what it will do with weather changes.
I didn't find any unburned powder with the heavier boolit but found a strange blue color on half of the head with all loads. I don't know if you can see it on the picture. I was playing with the cases and found the color just wiped off with my finger. I never seen this with this gun or any gun before.
These were shot at my normal 50 yd's.
