Hey everyone,
I am just getting into reloading and have been trying some lead bullets for my 30-30. They are 170 grain at a standard load.
I tried shooting a few tonight at 50 yard and they are all over the place. Most of the time they don't even hit the target, I am not an incredable shot, but I know I'm not missing by that much. A couple hit a foot to the left or right. At first I thought maybe the sights were out on the gun, so I fired a few factory rounds through just to check, they were dead on.
so I guess my question is, what is causing my bullets to "disapear" Are they not making it to the target? Are they loaded to hot? Is it possible for a gun to simply not like a kind of bullet.
Any suggestions would be welcome...so far the reloading thing hasn't worked out very well.
Thanks,
Llywelyn
