Thanks, guys. Shooting those groups was nerve racking enough. I can just imagine the pressure of trying to do that during a match with everyone watching over my shoulder.

I've never seen Viht 135 where I buy powder. I'll look into it, though.

After reading your post last week,Yeah, you guessed it . I was at the reload bench with Benchmark.(35 Bergers are already my favorite bullet). I loaded up about 100 rounds in ladder loads. WOW!!! Not one bad load in the bunch .150 being the smallest and .417 being the biggest. 25.8 was my best at 100 and 26.2 shot just over a inch at 300. Thanks guys ;)
