Took my 243 out today. Loaded up some 107 SMKs with imr 4350 charge weights from 37.5-42 increasing in increments of .5 grains. 5 rounds of each shot into each target. Settled on 39.5 grains, it is the first group on target 2. If i didnt mess up on that one shot which i know it was all me, it would have been a .195" group. Here are pics of the rifle and the targets.
