Did some shooting with my Savage 340 /30WCF today at 50 yards:
Pretty much my usual load for the 165 NOE Ranch Dog...Today it was 6.2 grains American Select with the NOE 165 Gas check base sans the check because it was powder coated with my usual Smoke's Clear PC Load coming in at just subsonic ( the way I like them).
The insanity well; every bullet was weighed to .1 grain, every load was weighed to 6.2 grain ( +/ - 0 grain): twenty five of the cases were weighed to .1 grain...then the rest varied!
The top two targets were shot with 10 round each of the .1 variance cases! The center target was shot with 5 of the .1 variance cases but the other 5 were random! The bottom targets were shot with all random weights of brass!
The top targets were my first 20 shots ( which are not usually my best) So I think it was an interesting experiment!
The best thing I got out of it is I got my rifle trigger discipline back after one year of only shooting pistol!
Oh yes,
The lower left target has 11 shots and the lower right has 9 shots! Had a mild senior moment!
