worked with the 270, 7mm and 325 WSM HS's this past Sat. worked up loads using reloader 19. ended up with max loads with no pressure signs and groups I think I can live with . Found that the powder was very accurate with beginning loads and max loads but opened up some what with middle of the road loads. Will chrono the loads next weekend

Thanks guys, it has taken a while to get the right setup for bench work. using a 20 LB rest and good sand bag rear rest has made it possible to keep the guns pretty much steady for each shot. Have been trying several powders as well. It seems that the rel. 19 is pretty stable in the WSMs but will know more next weekend with velocity strings. The 325 has been a pet project for the last couple of years, getting HS to make it took some doing. It will be my go to gun for bigger game than antelope of eastern whitetails. Hope to use it next season on elk . will be setting the other two up for eventual long range shooting as well

I didn't, the marker started out as a dime, after hitting it all I had left was a nickel in change

So, any idea what's causing that vertical stringing on that last group?
Looking good!!!
