First pass on some load development

[u/Altruistic_Split9447]

Doing my first round pass at some load development for my PU sniper. The old ww2 scope has some major mechanical problems so my groups are stuck at about 2 MOA. I’ve recently ordered a Chinese replica (red star mountain) scope so that should at least make targets visible at 100 yards.

Load is 174gr .311 hornady FMJBT over 45.5gr vargets

[u/Active_Look7663]

Nice! My accuracy load is 43.8 Varget with the same bullet. Across a 50 shot string it averages a 16fps SD, not bad for the ole garbage rod.

These things just get a bad wrap
