That load and bullet shot really well a couple of weeks ago what has changed? Even with the bullets turning sideways it is a decent group for my old eyes with iron sights on a milsurp at 50 yards. I got a 2 1/2 inch group but to my horror 2 (maybe 3rd started) of the bullets key-holed now. To make myself feel better I pulled the last 6 rounds from my ammo box that were still loaded with the 140 grain Hornady SST spitzers and fired them at the same target at 50 yards. I got a group of about 8 inches at 50 yards. Yesterday, I tried 120 grain Sierra hollow point boat-tail with 31.5 grain of IMR 3031. ![]() I was a happy boy and was ready to take the old gal hunting. I fired an awesome 10 shot group that pretty much took out the orange bullseye at 50 yards. I even tried those "J" things and it shot great till yesterday.Ī couple of weeks ago I loaded up a bunch of rounds that were 140 grain Hornady SST boat-tail spitzers with 30.0 grains of IMR 3031. I have been shooting 140 grain Lyman GC sized to. ![]() I have an Arisaka Type 38 Carbine in 6.5 with iron sights. I hate to go down the "J" projectile road here - sorry.
