Hi Guys,

Here is my first effort at load development.

I have 5 groups ranging from 20.5gns to 22.5gns

All shot at 100yds.

Good to see you got your seating issues sorted Muddy.

Very nice 3 shot on the 5th image.

How was this shot? bidpod/bag or...

Very, very nice.

Try that last load with a few +/- 0.1 charges and you'll just about have single hole groups.

Definitely a good result for first time out.

Those are .5gr increments obviously?

Should hopefully get even better with a little tuning like Farmjer said.

Nice Muddy.

How long you had your .222 for?

Looks like half the calibres for the DBL are discontinued now, included this one.

How was this shot? bidpod/bag or...

Front Bipod and small rear bag.
Conditions at Eagle park were near perfect yesterday, no wind and mid 20's.

How long you had your .222 for?

I have had my .222 for only a few months, I believe it was made in 1980 from the serial number
I found on the action, and the scope is 20+ years old also.

Those are .5gr increments obviously?

Yes Hinky they were .5gn increments, I will try .1ish between 22.0gn and 22.5gn.

Thanks all for the great support.
