Using 16 grains of 4198:

a. 1054
b. 1122
c. 1055

Av. 1077 SD: 38. Take out the b shot and you've got some good results noting the small statistical model.

Using 17 grains of 3031:

a. 987
b. 1083
c. 1160
d. 1114

Average of 1086 but SD of 73.

Now to accuracy testing at 100.

Notwithstanding the high SD; the 17 grain load group 3 in a 2 inch group at 100 and one flier (first shot?).

The 16 grain 4198 load shot a 2.5 inch group.

So comparing this result to the 200 grain Lapua at the start of the thread. We have:

a. improved accuracy

b. improved velocity

c. improved on shot to shot variation

Where to from here....

While generally happy with the load I think I shall try 15.9 grains for a ten shot group and concentrate on forming a consistent group with that load.
