Switching to loose powder finally

[ElDiablito]

True...but I'm willing to bet plenty of people buy the orange capped tubes with fill lines...fill em and roll with it.

Probably true. There seem to be a lot of guys starting out who don’t have a clue what they’re doing…..

Loose powder is the way to go. Better accuracy, consistency and speed.

I shoot 100 grains loose triple 7, use a volume measure similar to the one diablito posted and generally shoot saboted 250 gr hornady sst’s. With that setup I’m almost right on at 50 and 150, and 3-4 inches high at 100.

I would guess your open sights are the limiting factor. I shoot a 1 power scope, but when it was legal I shot a 6x Scope. I shoot 2 to 2 1/2 inch groups at 100 with my 1x but with the 6x 1 inch to 1 1/2 was the norm.

If you can use a scope to develop a load you will remove that variable and then can work on an open sight system without wondering if it’s your load.

Edited to add I’m hunting deer with the sst’s, I’ve used them on cow elk and been fine. But never used them on a bull.
