You hit the mark with that load! Great Shooting.. Those precision cut card board wads did the trick...

Thanks everyone, SML I think you are correct. I've noticed with this rifle that 2800fps usually gives me the best accuracy. Another thing I noticed is the longshot booster I tried last time out the lightly knurled bullets had very close to the same es as today's results. So I'm wondering if the cardboard wad made the difference so I still have 6-9 loads made up for the longshot/4198 and thought I'd try cardboard wad with this load to rule out my thoughts.
I am very happy with today's results especially because I was starting to think my bedding job on my new stock was bad. Was debating on doing it over. Once I have something in my mind it will drive me nuts until I make the change.
Again thanks guys for the comments this stuff is very addicting.

Nice shooting to begin with.
My interest peaks what this trend for trying different wad material will reveal.

Chad......................Shooting beats going to the dentist Very nice group. Cardboard wads..........veggie wads...............gasket material wads................whatever, they all serve the same purpose---------------------to seal the bore and the bullet to fatten up. Green dot, Red dot Blue dot Brindle S*&% brown dot...........Again, quick rise in pressure to fatten those bullets. I am glad you hit on a good combination. Richard |

Nice shooting Chad! You have the combo at the velocity you desired--that kind of accuracy and velocity would be hard on deer out to a long way.
