Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Nice shootin'.

Some yahoo was actually deriding the 308Win on one of the Boards. And here you have it cutting 1/2" 5-shot groups - imagine that!

Very nice! I was considering trying some reduced loads in my .308. With the Blue Dot, what kind of accuracy were you getting?

149gr.psp., bulk bullets (selected by weight)23.4gr. Blue Dot, avg. velocity=2275 fps., 4 shot 3/8" group at 50 yds. 10 shots you could easily cover with a quarter., primer a little flat, Adams Bennet barrel unbedded in Mauser Mil. stock. That's right at 30-30 performance but with a pointed bullet.

I find ,like any other powder, accuracy will fluxuate with combination of components and load. Also be aware that a 1/2gr. change in your load with Blue Dot has a greater affect than if you made a 1/2gr. change useing one of the 4831s and the sweet spot my be a little more illusive. roger
