    Some grouping test with the dot powders and Accurate #9 .223

    Did some groups with the dot powders and Accurate #9 at 50 yards. 9 grains of powder except the Blue dot. 10 grains for it. Yellow dot is the #9 and the pink is Red dot.
    No super fussy case prep. Just trimmed to size. Bullets were berrys 55 grain FMJ. And some 55 grain i bought from RMR. Before the shortage. I was going for groups not bullseye hits. Guns sighted to 15 grains of 2400 and 24 grains of Varget. I did not use the hold over dots either in the scope. Also did a random loads 10 rounds at 100 yards. I had fun. Some of the groups surprised me. Rifle was my Savage axis with wood stock. And a Mcarbo trigger reduction kit. Scope UTG 4-16X50 1" Hunter Scope.
