    Thanks for all the replies. The squares are 25mm/ 1" so not that small. And at 100 yards.

    The towel just helps when firing off 20-25 rounds in one sitting. But no don't generally hunting with a towel on my shoulder. But do generally wear a base, mid and top layer so comes close considering it is a tad warm and just in a t shirt.

    The photo of the projectile next to the case is touching the lands. At the moment they are seat 10mm deeper than that. Was saying I could probably seat it out 5-5.5mm more and still have at least 7mm in the neck.

    Most of the groups would have been 5 shots. But the others got sent slightly off target towards something else.

    So far the loads that were supplied have been quite consistent (when I do my part) at hitting an A4 gong at 500. But think I fluked a very small group with them and can't replicate it loading how he did. So just wanted to see if I could make it better.

    Cheers again for the replies. Will try a couple different loads around 71.5 plus just a couple higher to check.
