Rick inspired me to take a new approach to load development.

TK, looks like you're off to a good start.

BUT......no holes in that target! We have a rule here, all targets must have holes in them to quality.

I am going tomorrow after I get my booster shot. The job gives us that day off. I am happy to report I picked the nicest shooting weather day to tale off. Hopefully I dont have a reaction the booster, I want to shoot LOL

Rick your post made a lot of sense to me. I bet this will narrow things down a bit.

I originally had the Pfizer shots back in April and May 2021. No reaction what so ever. I received the Pfizer booster middle of last December. I was so confident that I would have NO reaction after the shot, I skipped out on the 15 minute wait and drove home. All was fine until mid-morning the next day. My limp-nodes (in my arm pits) began to hurt and swell. By that evening, it felt like someone had taken a ball bat and beat me all across my upper back and shoulders, especially on my left where I received the booster shot. The limp-node in my left armpit was extremely painful. I hope you do not have the same experience as I did...

Agree with Rick, targets are okay, but we to want too see bullet holes and grouping.

Well its been 1.5 hours since I got my booster. So far so good. They tried their darn to talk be out of the J and J but my mind was made up. So after lunch I will get to my ladder test, god willing.

So do I. I like the idea of a new approach-

Well I must say, I was not going to get any of the vaccine shots or boosters, but the daughter who is in medical hounded the wife and I to get the shots, plus the oldest son, did the same, so we relented and have had both shots now, and in another 3 months will have the booster.
Neither the wife or I had any side effects. No soreness in arm, etc. So now I think, no big deal. we will see how the booster goes, when the time comes.

I was able to shoot on a beautiful day. I can't say enough about this Tikka T3 rifle. I like it!

So here we go. Group 1 showed some promise.

Group 2 was terrible. I was steady and had good form. The rifle didn't like this one.

Okay #3 was better for sure-

Ironically the one in dead center was the first shot. The flyer?

And finally #5. I am open for any comments or suggestions on which one to pursue.
