Thats me and my friends pet load also.

Thanks for the tips guys,

Do you guys think shooting 3 shot groups is an ok practice for load development with a light weight rifle? I need to get my trigger tweaked than I'll be back at it.

Thanks, Jake

Mine is a tackdriver IMO. .5" with factory 32 gr v-max and the same with 35 gr bergers thus-far.
