Been wanting to shoot some IMR 3031 with my 40cal. So I ran some quickloads for the 195g. Barnes. FF me some up and headed out. All shots were 76g. IMR3031 Fed. 209A
1. 3064
2. 3079
3. 3080
4. 3091
5. 3081
No wads were used on this 5 shot group.
Don't know why those two grouped together away from the other 3. The 3 cluster was shots 1,2 and 4. The speeds were coming up as the barrel got hotter. About 4 min between shots so no real cool down time.
Next up was 3 Custom copper I turned up @ 200 grain FF
1. 3065
2. 3066
3. 3045
No wads on these either, same load as above.
Same P.O.I. as the Barnes.
I shot 3 more with the load above but with wool wads to see what the groups would do. Speeds were:
1. 3041
2. 3040
3. 3059
The ES was pretty good but the group was about 1 1/2"
I then shot for 200yds. only had two Barnes left. Same load as above, no wool wads, the P.O.I. was 1/2" low dead center L to R. 1 5/8" 2 shot group.
