LG, how did your OE test go? Let me know your load details. I shot up some older reloads with the BACO 535 Money Bullet and 1.5 OE last week. They shot pretty good: 7 X's, 3 10's and 9 9's just out at 9 O'clock (2 9's went low at 6 and 8 O'clock due to poor sight alignment) Group size went 2.5 vertical X 3.5 horizontal. Shot about the best I could see that session. These were shot at 200 yards and I feel that they shot as good as I was seeing that day. Need to do more with that load if I can stop messing with the 50's for a while!

Load info is a few posts before that.
Very pleased and will be ordering some.
I am a little concerned about the clump'n issue that has been reported in the latest lot.

I shot 10 rams and 12 pigs with the 44-90st with its 81 gr 1.5 and the 480 brooks postel. 25 mph winds

Hey Don-How much windage did you have to dial in ?

Over the years, I have noticed that Swiss powders also clump a little, and nobody let that hold them back. Gently shake the OE container and load'er up
