The reason for the 2.200 coal is because thats just where it fell when seating to the canalure, so I tried it. Normally I would have a coal of 2.250 which is just short of the max of 2.260, just to allow for any variance when seating.
Thank you all for the help and advice, I believe I am going to start over with lowest powder charge and work up in .3 gr increments with everything else being the same and when I get the tightest group then I will vary the coal.
That was great advice not to change 2 things at the same time, I guess I should have known that but didn't.
It is a terrific hobby loading your own loads and then a trip to the range to see how they work out. Being retired I needed a hobby to fill in some time especially during the winter. I used to reload and shoot a lot 30 years ago but just recently got back into it.
