For loads one and two, I tried a relatively large amount of N-130 (75 gr.).
On target #1 other than the first shot, the next four had an ES of only 12 fps and produced a decent group save for the first shot.
Thinking this was going to be a great load, I took it to 200 yards and boy did it ever stink!
Now maybe it was the bullet? But, the low ES's disappeared and the load was only deer good 
Load #3 was a triplex combination I had not exactly tried before. The velocities were in my preferred range and ES's were good (not great). Accuracy was pretty decent. So, I decided to take it to 200 yards with the 195 Barnes. The ES's were low but accuracy not that good. It was a toss up as to whether shot #5 went into hole #1 or #4 They both looked about the same but I gave the advantage to the worst one
Again, the lame load with 200 SST. Here I managed at least a three shot sub-moa group with five in 3.3"
#6 was shot with 48.5 of SR4759 and gave decent results.
#7 was shot with the same load but using the 200 FTX sabotless---it strung vertically and large
#8 was also the 200 FTX but used with one of my previous triplex loads..........."just ok" Nothing to write home about
No 1 1/4 300 yard group (3-shot) like Herman's or even 2" (3-shot) groups that I shot with Herman's gun, never the less, information that I can use for future reference.
