    The 43.5 looked good. 👍 Try that one again, chrono numbers don’t always prove groups. 👍🕺🏻🇺🇸

      Accuracy is basically 2 parts. 1 part velocity spread and the other is barrel harmonics. Seating depth comes into play but mostly for the bench rest and sniper folk.

    You did pretty good. that front sight isn't a target sight, It is for combat shooting.. It is for combat shooting. (It's a Inverted "V") and it will play tricks on you. peace out dude. Dave

      Thanks. The front sight is hard to pick up on that black target. I appreciate you. 👍

  • @SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor

    It boils down to vertical stringing (don't get distracted by horizontal deviation). Take the load that has the smallest verticle spread and use that to hone into the sweet spot (this is referred to ladder load).

      Great advice. Thank you, I really appreciate it 👍.

    I fire 8mm 198gr PPU through my G43, pretty good for reloading!

    I use the exact same bullets and brass but instead of 4064 I use 50 grains of Ramshot big game.
    The velocity I have chronographed is 2480 to 2530 fps.
    My rifle is a modern JP sauer S100 in 8x57mm.
    Will shoot sub MOA as its a cold hammerforged barrel.

      They are good bullets and seem to the best for me of everything that I have tried. Thanks for the info, I need to get other powders as 4064 is non-existent these days. 👍👍

      @kyfirearms Ramshot powders are also about 100$ cheaper for an 8 Lb jug vs IMR.
