Bullets - ALL 69 gr Sierra HPBT
OAL - same
Brass - Same (sized differently)
Powder - ALL Accurate 2230C
Primers - 6 different primers used
Rifle - Savage Model 12, single shot, bull barrel
Triggerman - me - aka "4 shot"
One run of five rounds of each primer, partial full length size (80% of neck sized) shot at 100 yards.

Partial full length sized cases with CCI 450, 400, Benchrest, "41", Winchester, & Fed 205 primers. I made a windage correction after the first 4 groups (last time rifle was shot at prairie dogs at the 500 yardage with a gentle Nebraska wind).

My best 100 yard group....hence the nickname - 4 shot...
....and a 300 yard group using Sierra 60 gr "Varminter" bullets.
What caliber where you shooting? I'm guessing a 223 Rem. with those bullets [;)].
I just read your post on the Reloading Bench thread.
Now I'm positive you were shooting 223 Rem. [:D].
Yep...223 it is.
I REALLY like reloading...and of course the shooting part as well.
Tremblor - more variance than I thought.

If that's a factory Savage bbl I'm assuming it's a 1-9" twist.
Seems to be doing a good job of stabilizing those 69gr pills. Out of curiosity,Ever tried anything heavier in it? If so how did they shoot?
About 69gr is where most 1-9"s have started to lose accuracy for me in the 223 Rem.
I need to stay in this range for the distance that I am shooting....100 to 600 yards....on prairie dogs.
