    Nice one

    Hope it goes well. Good luck ...

    Remember to try and shoot off a bag if possible - you're testing the loads, not testing your shooting ability ...

    @Gibo if you are going to be near Te Awamutu at any stage I got a part box of federal 210 match primers you can have all you need to do is come pick them up.

    Finally got to try my first batch of reloads. I did cheat the ocw test a bit sorry @kiwi39. I counlnt bring myself to shoot 33 rounds so made 18 in .5 grain increments. Shot the best group i have ever so to say im wrapped is an understatement.
    Happy with my shooting and cant believe how mush a little powder changes shit.
    51.5 it is

    Nice target. What font did you use for the powder weights ? Looks cool

    OCW is what you make of it ... And you've done bloody well, so success I'd say, without shooting all that extra powder...

    You'd be pretty pleased with that for a first crack, ay ?

    Ha Ha cheeky bugger!! I printed that one before I got the non PDF.
    The font is called 'fuck yeah!'
    Yeah stoked mate. I loaded up 9 more of 51.5 grn so at least if i go for a deersie I know im in with a chance. After the 1st 3 I dropped my poi by 2MOA as it was not the height I wanted. I also moved it 1MOA left after the rest so should be about bang on for 200. Will be tested though to be sure. Just need a crony now and then I can make a droppy

    Question: The crown on my rifle is now filthy with black residue, never had that issue with factory loads. Is this normal and what will get it off? Hoppers didnt.
