After trying Alot of different bullets and powder increments
I have found the 50g bullets have been my most accurate.
but have also found that the shorter the bullet the tight groups
I get.
So these are the shortest 50grain bullets I can get so should be
accurate.
Will have to wait until good day to try them out. :(

I have loaded from 21.0 upto 23.5 going up in 0.3 increments.
Have to get out to try them still find the ballistic tip bullets
bollocks over the 200 yard mark.
The 55g lapua soft points were giving me 30mm 4 shot groups at
175yards they have been my bench mark for accuracy so far.

Shot these groups at 100m the 21.0g was probably gonna be the
best but had I flyer. Going to go with the 22.5 for the higher
velocity and range.
Used brand new lapua brass so gonna load another 8 with the used
brass I shot today to see if there's any difference.
