Did a ladder test @450 with the 130ttsx and varget(2208).
As I went up in charge weight the pattern went from climbing slowly vertically to large horizontal dispersion then to scattergun till max load.
I loaded 5 selected from in between vertical then 5 in horizontal. Suprised how clearly the loads patterned.
Just replaced trigger spring with a 2lb one so should be able to improve on the 4” group. And although there is clearance suspect that the stronger loads may have made the plastic forend slightly touch the barrel(small shiny bit on side of barrel found when changing spring. These loads have about 4mm jump to lands. The x bullets only just starting to open up in the dirt so as recommended probably good for a max 350-400 on deer. I chucked the old spring behind the trigger, made for a simple two stage! I’m sure there is a better way to do it. ( I didn’t leave it there as it would have fallen out/got stuck in trigger mechanism
)
