Woodman and the Red Dot part2

[LHR]

Doing some more load work with the Patriot and Dot setup. Went to 43gr. N120 and also tried some imr4198. The equivalent charge of imr4198 was about 150 fps slower than N120. I put 4 out of 5 in a sub moa group at 100 yards, even though the dot covers most of the plate.


This Patriot just continues to impress me with its bullet to bore performance. It's just not very picky at all whether BH209 or N120 I have the same accuracy. Fury 275's Star Tip with veggie wad, that one high flyer was shot#4, and I noticed it didn't load as smoothly as the rest, it had more load resistance for some reason. They all went thru the sizer 3 times?

Ahhhh.... I see your problem. That red tube is interfering with your trigger pull.

Thanks for the report. Please keep 'em coming. Your load development will help me when my Patriot arrives.
