I tested some loads today in my 30-06 and 1.5 was best I could do with 180 gr sierra and 46 gr varget. Gonna test 46.5 gr and 47 if needed.

This was shooting from a vise. Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all! ------------------------------

Alabama	I was referring to these two paragraphs Quote: have written it before and I will write it again: these groups are achieved on a word processor, not in the field. At best what the writer means is that once, when the stars were momentarily aligned in the sky, he shot a 1" group with the test rifle. He will never admit in print that he shot nine other groups ranging in size from 2" to 4" with the same rifle. However, the inexperienced and the gullible take these "test reports" to heart. The most absurd exaggeration is accepted without question, and endlessly repeated (and embellished) online. The boldest liars become authorities on marksmanship and rifle performance. It would be depressing if it were not so absurd!
