    Holy Smokes!!!!

    Was piddling with my 38-55 today, loaded some pretty hot rounds with the lee 250 RF, and had to clean up a bit of leading (Yeah I kew the load too hot but wanted to tryit anyway) After cleaning, I loaded a few cases with 33.6 grains of WC846 to push a Lyman 264 grainer (375449) and lit 'em with Winchester Large Rifle Magum primers and was rewarded with a 5 shot group that is .28" wide and .36" tall (center to center) I tried to follow that up with another just like it, but was only able to shoot a 1" group. This of course was at my usual 50 yards, but man it still looked sweet to me.

    ............That is some VERY fine shooting, indeed! Just a few thousandths of an inch sight displacement at the bench makes a BIG difference out there on the target. Obviously though, the load was working and you were certainly doing your part. Great shooting!
