So I had a mixed bag testing some stuff. I tested some Leverevolotion loads in a Marlin 30-30 with new Ranger Point peep sights, the traditional version. They grouped fine at 50 yards but went to pieces at 100. I’d like to zero the rifle/load combo at 4” high at 100 yards but they wouldn’t group well enough to zero. I have enough supplies to make 100 more of these, but it looks like I may have to back up and redo the load.
I also went to tests some 223 loads. These were with IMR 4064 and 77 grain SMK bullets. I learned I need to mark individual cartridges because on the way to the range my tray spilled and they got all mixed up. On the other hand I also learned a mixed bag of charge weights from 23 to 24.5 grains will still group about 1.25” at 100 yards or better. Looks like I have to do this one again too.
