    What sort of accuracy are you getting? My two .308's both shoot 5 shot groups of 1/2" at 50 metres you should be getting 1" groups at that distance at least

    I haven't been trying to shoot for accurate grouping yet, and to be honest, I am not that fussed so long as it hits within an inch of where I aim it at 50 yards. I don't intend it for anything outside of that on animals..
    So far, my test loads have been remarkably spot on, even with me on the trigger

    After a few hundred low recoiling loads your trigger control should show a big improvement

    You shouldn't say that it may bite you in the butt, I do have a .375 250 grain mould don't use it much it is a flat base good for up to 1400fps turn your .375 H&H into a 38/55
    I have to dig it out a couple of friends need a few bullets can add you to the list if you want
