Gentlemen, I would embarace myself for asking this....but it is much better to ask for your inputs/opinion rather than do not know exactly for what I was doing in the SS sometime ago, or just struggling to understand the things for myself. So your inputs will be much appreciated!
As you might know, I am just newbie to BR and reloading. I only shot for a very very few matches and never developt loads myself before this.
Some pics bellow...
The powder is N133 (not sure with the lot etc). Bullet is Bart's Ultra 68gr FB.
Since I could not have/get consistent weight using powder measure, I re-weight each charge with digital schale. I set the measure (Harrel's) at 55 and 1/3 btw, and carefully weight it at 28.4 grains, every time. Well, I only noticed that it shot "better" in this charge/weight during the practice days, and it "seems" no vertical to me. Again, I'm just a newbie & dumb!
Bart Sauter asked one empty case and he gave me reference with bullet seated, and suggested to try some loads from that. It was about touching the rifling in my chamber, not jammed, not jump. (thanks Bart, your help is much appreciated!). Paul Schmid guided me with the loads and suggested me to choose for myself which load that shot/group better. (thanks Paul!).
(My best guess is, I used "mild" load and not in "upper load" window...? I did not have enough time to experiment with more charges in that time, besides I know nothing about loads!).
I used .290 bushing, btw. I just felt that it was about the "same" neck tension with the rounds I used last years in Oz & WBC-8. Paul Schmid have helped me with the case prep etc before.
..........
My question is,....looking from the pics, from the vertical/horizontal "dispersion" etc...do you think the load was okay?....Or do you think my rifle shoot okay/well enough?...what must I try/do next time?....Is it pure about the (unexperienced) driver?
I understand that I have made some big mistakes, was wrong to judge the right time/conditions, etc. Once or twice I tried to shoot as fast as possible, and the result was like the 5th group of LV 100....lol.
I need inputs here. I will follow your inputs/suggestion etc for next year event & hoping better result.
Many thanks in advance,
seb.
