Shot the Ballard

[Don McDowell]

Finally got an opportunity to shoot the Ballard 32-40.. Wind was a bit gusty from right to left and the light kept fading in and out with the clouds passing, but all in all I was pretty tickled with how it went.
Shot from the bench at 225 yards. All loads shot with the Saeco "pope" bullet, in WW 38-55 cases and cci 200 primers.
First up was 25 gr, of BH 209 (think we can leave that one alone)
   

Then came 14 gr. of 5744, this one could be tinkered with
   

Then I moved to the AA9 as suggested by Jack Odor, 12 gr.
   

Then 12.5 gr
