i have been trying out reloading today for the first time with the help of an experienced friend. we have been using 168grain hpbt sierra bullets, 41 to 43 grain n140 powder in 0,5grain increments, and RWS brass, to develope a load for my howa 1500 varminter. i got sub MOA 5 shot groups on 100 meters with the 42,5 and 43 grain loads, allthough there was wind and quite heavy snowfall.
we seated the bullets half a millimeter away from the rifling, what do you guys recommend should i use more than the half milimeter? maybe 1 or 2 milimeter?
