I went to the range and shot 15 sets of 6 rounds (.223) at different powder amounts.
My first good grouping was 23/32nd of an inch at 24.4 gr.
My Second good grouping was 19/32nd of an inch at 25 gr. (it was actually 5 rounds at 19/32nd of an inch because i pulled one out 2 inches to the right so i didn't count it)
My last good grouping was 28/32nd of an inch at 25.6 gr. (max load)
My question is how come i dont see a pattern with the groupings? I increased each set by .2 gr. so there are a few groups in between these good ones but they all sucked. Should i pick one set to load up or should i investigate further? Like load these 3 sets up again and compare to each other again?
