so i tried to develop a load for my rifle and i think i screwed it up.
1903a3 springfield 30-06 10 twist shilen barrel
150 gr nosler ballistic tip hunting bullets
once fired remington 30-06 cases
federal primers
imr 4350 powder
started with 54 grains and went .5 grain increments to 58.5 grains. book max is 58 and no signs of pressure on the 58.5 case
here's what it looked like at 100 yards
did i start in too close? the lowest range down here currently is 200 yards so i figured i'd start at 100 then move to 200 on the next refinement. not really sure why shot 5 and 9 dropped so low probably human error
oh and it's blowing about 23 mph from about 7 o-clock with gusts in the mid 30's but i timed most of my shots after the gusts died off
