My 25.06 Results today

[Paul]

Here are my results today.


As you can see I have two sweat spots at both ends of spectrum (grp 2 and 8 ) or does it happen often?. Question: should this happen or is it me or my shooting?

I have a Mark X mauser with a factory barrel that shoots cloverleafs with 4350 and 87 grain Speer bullets. I would have to look back to see the grains used, but accuracy was good. I just happened on the load the first try, but it sounds similar to tests done on my 243. One grain down, 46 grains was horrible, 47 grains shoots under 1/2" at 200 yards, and 48 grains the group really widened up. Your results do not surprise me at all.
