What yardage were those shot at?

But anyways, I load both weights, but as SMKs, working off the Optimal Charge Weight (OCW) loads by Dan Newbury. 168s to 600Y and heavier for longer ranges.

Link = Load info

They’ll one ragged hole group @ 100Y, w/ this 5-shots (I thought it was more, but I am not at home now to confirm the target) @ the 180 ‘open’ range @ Reading shot prone using the 168s my best. I blame the L to R dispersion on my shoulder pressure, as am still getting used to prone with this rifle, shot off a bag ala Ryan Cleckner’s method. (Great book he has BTW!)
