    Load development delema.

    I'm certainly not ruling out me just not shooting my best at this point with as few times a year that I've been able to get out lately. I may take my Tikka 55 in 308win out next time out to see how that goes it will shoot 1/4 to 1/2 moa consistently. As well as maybe a couple boxes of factory...
