The wind had stopped by then so no blame there. After the first test batch (21.5g), wulf202 and I separated the rounds with the bad noses and we could see that most of the flyers were those rounds, but not all. Either way, I feel like I got productive enough results.

Doesn't matter where they hit, it's about finding the load the performs best. Looks like 23 gr is it ~ .1-.2 on either side.

I actually have a sandbag and an HBAR Tactical bean bag that I meant to bring, but forgot them. I'm pretty happy with the results as I can see a clear pattern of what load ranges I intend to develop further.

I've been doing some research on this stuff and I ran into an old thread where someone was saying that you couldn't shoot sub-moa for .223 out of an semi-auto. Is that true? Looks like some of those groups are sub-moa, even if I don't personally count them (or know how you're supposed to measure them).

What do you consider a decent magnification scope? I'm only load developing at 100 yards and I could see my hits on the splatter target.

Absolutely not true.

I didn't think so. I've just been typing questions into Google and reading various threads on other forums. When you ask a basic question about something, I find that it generally stopped being discussed several years ago which is a bummer. I don't like reading 10+ year old threads because it seems like info has come a long way since then. Even on simple stuff like what barrel twists to use for calibers.

I don't suffer the Google unless i must

You're a more patient & forgiving person than I.
