55 gr FMJ pulldowns from FSReloading? - Page 2

Okay, the bullets are indeed 55 grains each, so no worries there. I fired 30 each of the Hornady and the pulldowns at 5-inch targets from 100 yards with iron sights. I actually did better with the pulldowns, as you can see below. Compared to most folks here, my shooting is probably pretty bad. However, my inexperience combined with poor vision and shaky hands means that this is actually consistent with my recent outings. I'm not sure any conclusions can be drawn from this, but here are what the targets looked like after all 60 rounds.

Looks good to me. Your shooting is fine!

Looks like you actually group better with the pulldowns. Any difference in the recipe between the two?
