Thursday at work things didn't go the way they are supposed to, and I had worked 10 out of the last 11 days. So I took Friday off. I didn't even call in, turned off my phone and disappeared. Anyway, I had worked with the Bee most of the winter league. I had just a little more load development to do so, I loaded up and went to the range. I have now settled on a nice load that should work great on charlies.

218 Bee OTT barrel
40gr Blitz King with OAL 1.800"
Win case
CCI 400 primer
13.5gr IMR 4227 **
Velocity of 2,616 fps

** This load is safe in MY gun, please reduce and work up to it.



Distance was 100 yards. The group on the left is a 5 shot group. The first three shots printed on top of each other. If you look real close the bottom of the cluster is just a little wider than the top. I have also worked with 2400, it was a close second but 4227 was just a slight bit more accurate.

Hey Dale...that looks mighty sweet!! A slight switch in the breeze could have bumped any of those shot from the group...try a few wind flags...even surveyors tape on a few garden stakes will work for 100yd shooting.

I hear ya Dan. I was also trying the holds we were talking about at the shoot. Seems to help, still experimenting.
