Gentlemen, put 5 alloys down range at 200m, first shot was ver high, hit the top of the target frame, the rest came down lower, 85 grains of FFg goex. The rifle seemed to have less recoil. and the 5 shots strung vertically. When I swapped back to my usual bullets, pure lead, it felt like I got better combustion due to more friction in the bore if that make sense. The second target, same load, kept them all in the black. with a bit of drift to the right hand side, but roughly a 9 ring group. I could not remember the correct adjustment for windage, which I have now written down in my range book. I was able to fine tune the elevation this time with a mates better scope. I also chronograpphed the last 4 shots 1195, 1196, 1192, 1208 1197.7 fps average, so my loading technique is not to bad. I suspect I can improve this load with a bit more minor sight adjustment to get it central, and also look at the way I am holding the rifle on the bench rest, I may also be canting slightly so will get my mate to watch me next time at the range. I did chrono some paper cartridges at about 865 to 885 fps which was interesting with the 2 1/2 drams of ffg. I tried some different paper which turned out to be not linen rag, I shot very high a 50m off the bench. The day had no wind but the light was a bit fickle, going from bright to overcast quite quickly.
