That's helpful and makes sense. I have 10 more loaded. I'm going to shoot them in two groups of five this week.

Went out this morning and shot another four shot group. I only waited one minute between shots as it was a very cool morning in the high 40s. Same hand load, same result as the OP to this thread. . This is the third 4-shot group that has measured like this. Well under half an inch, so I think I'm going to load up 50 of these. I'm also excited about a partition load that is looking very promising. Now I'm going to adjust my zero since these groups are all hitting low, then shoot a couple of groups to confirm and I'm ready for this fall!

Thanks again everyone for the feedback and input.

That's excellent. One thing though. If you plan to shoot further hunting I would really suggest you test it out to the max distance you would take a shot. Sometimes very good 100 yd groups can open up quite a bit in degrees/moa as you get some more distance.

Excellent work. That's a great seemingly consistent shooting group.

Wanted to share this. The primary reason I became a member here was because I wanted to get into reloading and I didn't know where to start or what the first steps even looked like. The LRH community has been so helpful and friendly and accommodating. There's so many good guys here who have helped me along the way and I'm really grateful. And very little ego. I feel like everyone here genuinely wants everyone else to succeed and figure out what works best for them. I'm still learning a ton and have so far to go but I finally got my primary hunting rifle dialed in with a load that consistently shoots 1/4 - 3/8 inch groups with the load I've been able to develop. And I don't really know what I'm doing! Total novice. My first group was shooting 1.5–2 inch groups, but I had loaded it very light just out of caution. Assuming it is not inappropriate to share my load data. I'm just really excited and would love to hear any insight or input that will help me develop as a reloader and shooter. I'm wanting to work up below for partitions, and ELD-X. Posting picture of the first four, the second four look the same and opened the group up by 1/10.

Thanks for reading and looking!

This is rifle/load:
Tikka 7 mag
160 grain Accubonds
H-1000
1x fired Nosler brass
Fed primers
COAL 3.297
2900 fps over two four shot groups.
100 yards
