    I've seen that as well. I'm noticing that a handgun, like other arms seems to want to "kick off" hard supports more than soft supports. I hadn't really thought about that before but it makes sense....

    I do some archery hunting as well and I can get away with some movement if timed right. That said, I've had a doe bust me drawing once and a yote best me pulling back the hammer on my ML. I agree...

    I'm just going to work on my consistency, for hunting situations, there's usually something I can rest against and my off hand isn't awful. I think it's just about putting rounds down range at this...

    For jacketed, I rarely use hornady, for cast, I sometimes think the lower charges are more accurate. 15grns seems like it works, but I wonder if I slow it down a bit, if I'll get better results. ...

    I don't bench shoot much, so I'm know I'm not going to get bench type accuracy. I believe you are correct when you say a three shot group doesn't tell you much, but I don't think that can be said...

    I disagree. My three shot groups are not enough alone, but over multiple groups they will start to show a trend. I still shoot for fun and the time and resources expended are the reason I'm out...

    What do you mean 1.5grns light? Hodgdon lists that as a starting load in for a 158grn XTP on their website at 1418fps. I'm not going below minimum at all. I should be completely safe.

    Last range trip of the day. No pics but HS6 at 9.0 grns and H110 at 15.0grns both produce similar groups. But the H110 is faster. I was only able to shoot at 25 yards this last trip, but both...
