Thanks Jim. I loaded from 54-56 at .5 gr increments and 55.5 and 56 were accurate, the rest werent. I will try backing down some more. I dont want the hottest load. There was slight flattening of the primers at 56.
Different powder I know, but my rifle did not like them hot. Anything over 53.5 gr yielded a softball sized group with that Ram Hunter. You will have different results with your combination but mine for sure liked them slower.
It still leaves a fist sized exit on South Alabama whitetail and prompted me to start saving my money for a 243. It's better suited for larger deer or larger game.
