    Still dicking with my loadings. Looking for accuracy and a nice light bolt lift. Tried 180s with 4064 thrown from 39.3 to 39.7 grains

    Sighters. 39.3 left at 2100, 39.5 touching the 39.3 to the right, 39.7 2330.... [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/i1005.photobucket.com\/albums\/af178\/pmclaine\/P3117342_zpshbbazmyi.jpg"}[/IMG2]

    5 groups of 5. 180 SMK, IMR 4064 as marked, WLRP [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/i1005.photobucket.com\/albums\/af178\/pmclaine\/P3117341_zps4wueofpa.jpg"}[/IMG2]


    Im liking 39.4. There are three that look like two. Those were my first three. A fine gentleman came and talked to me between 3 and 4 and when I came back behind the gun I was a block of ice, literally it was about 15 degrees with wind. 5 came back near where 1,2,3 were. If I were Russian or German in the winter of 1942 I think I would have just laid down and cried my self to death.

    Ive got a test box of these same loads to try at 300.
