FINALLY got a chance to head out to the range and try out a few loads I cooked up. I think I did OK! Big improvement over factory ammo...either that or my marksmanship improved dramatically in the weeks in between range trips.
:)
While I realize they aren't "awesome" they are pretty good groups for me, and I'm excited to continue developing a load that my 12 LRPV likes. Trying some heavier bullets next (69gr SMK and 75gr A-Max), so I didn't go too bezerk with these lighter bullets.
Sierra 52gr MatchKing HPBT
24.5gr BL-C2
CCI 400 primer
Hornady brass (fire formed)

...and another group using the same basic recipe, but with a 55gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet:
(yes, 5 holes...honest injun!)

Again, not super awesome groups (damn those flyers) but at the end of the day I was a happy Savage owner.
