…I hope it’s still accurate. The load and gun shot three, three shot groups last year in a row under an inch at 100 yards before I away last year. To be fair though, I did shoot a 6” plate at 200 yards three times in a row at 200 yards the other day after my “1” hole, 100 yard POA check. On the serious side, once my gun with a particular load is proven I don’t waste any time or a lot of ammo if I’m just re checking my POA before hunting. I have put 1,000’s of rounds through just about all the guns I own like most here BEFORE I would just walk out and “shoot one load” to check POA. Maybe I should sit at the range all day and waste ammo? Wait…I did with that gun testing 4 different alloy BHs and several powders with each of them. Along with several boolits and crimp styles before I had a few goto consistent, sub MOA load combos. I’ll save the all day load testing new guns and pistols with unproven loads.
I’m sure if you find some of my old posts on accuracy testing the 77/44 you’ll see how many days and rounds I put through it to have the confidence to check POA with “one” shot.
To get to that point you have to spend ALOT of time behind the trigger like Dverna states…

If you look some of my group buy 336 chambered in 35 Rem you’ll see some really tight groups with cast at 100 yards and beyond. Check out my Avatar to the left. So PC can very very, very accurate. You just have to put ALOT of time behind the trigger with alloy choices, powders, crimp styles, and also make sure your gun is cable of that type of accuracy before the “accuracy” quest begins.

I have another post accuracy testing the gun but haven’t run into it yet. The 243 I posted the other day to “check” zero has had thousands of rounds through it as well to get to that point. I hope everyone here has enough common sense to realize that. By the above post, apparently not…or Dverna is just teasing or razzing me.lol
I don’t take affense to it, but you have your die hard “lube” guys here. If you mention PC to them it’s like calling their mother a name….fighting words. Good luck and keep us posted with your results when you find something that works for you and your gun.
As stated above, Larry is a Wealth of formation here. He helped me with my alloy choices and many, many, other things.
