Think I found it

[TPB12335]

3 shot - 100 yards - 16kph wind at my back

40 grn Berger match grade varmint on top of 28 grn's of H335, COAL of 2.260, Winchester brass with remington small rifle primers. Shooting a stock Weatherby Vanguard in 223 topped with a 3x9 Bushnell Elite 3200.

Pretty happy, this is my PB group ever as well.

may I suggest 5 shot groups?

Don't be rediculous.

+1. And lots of them, then try it at 200yds or even better 300yds to be sure there is no vertical dispersion that is hidden at 100yds. Very promising start, though.

Don't be rediculous.

This is the interwebs, why be practical?

Any time you get a Personal Best during load testing, you should pat yourself on the back, and shoot it again. That just means you did your best, not necessarily that the group is repeatable. I like to shoot at least 2x5 shot groups with each charge weight, just to take myself out of the equation. Because I can occasionally fluke a really sweet group, does not make me and my rifle a quarter MOA combination. Realistically, I can hold .75" inch groups pretty much all day with my Savage Model 12, occasionally, there'll be a .3-.5 but that's good luck more than anything else.

I made the mistake of loading for a match based on a 3 shot group at 100m. When I got it out to distance (800m)it had fliers and elevation issues. Needless to say, I put it away and shot my trusted gun.

It's always nice though to have those wall hanger groups. I have a 4 shot group in the 0's I shot while breaking in a barrel that hangs on my wall at home.
