Just to report on my recent trip to the range testing my first batch of handloads ever, for my 22-250
I loaded 55 gr Vmax's with 38 grains H380 into factory new brass. The brass was had nothing done to it prior to loading it.
The groups I got, were...well not really groups at all. There was as much as 8" between holes. I was pretty glad my first batch didn't explode or anything, and there weren't any signs of excess pressure, but I was disappointed with the results.
I'm not sure if its the charge in each casing??? The scale powder measure doesn't seem that accurate to me, I have a digital one coming and will retest this load, but can any of you fellow nutz think of what I might be doing wrong??
Thanks,
