Went out yesterday for a quick trip to the Range. Five shots with the 180 gr. Partitions measured favorably, came in at a one MOA group. I started loading and shooting when a 1 inch group was considered very good and a 270 was considered a good little deer rifle.
Next up were the Accubonds at .095 off the lands, 69.2 grains Rl. 19; four shots into 1/4 moa there was no way I was shooting a fifth shot to screw that picture up. Added 2 MOA and a click left decided to try for a 10 shot group at 300. I was in a hurry, looked like a Williwaw coming down off Mt. Emily could bring wind and snow soon. Got six rounds off before it hit. Snow in the air and wind scattering neglected targets around the range. A Quick Look through my spotter. That will do.
The load development for the 30 HH Ruger #1 is done.

I heard my dad talk about "williwaws" from his time in the Aleutians during the war. Haven't heard the term in many years.
 
Great load work! That should fetch a bull.

Man, I love MT Emily I’m that second season. Snow, cold, wind and elk everywhere.

I look up at it every time I walk out my front door. I’m kinda spoiled. Little snow up there this morning.
 
Wil.li.wa; a sudden violent squall blowing off shore from a mountainous coast. I was taught the phenomenon looks almost like an avalanche coming down the mountain and then unimpeded roaring out to sea. In my case I’m several hundred miles from the sea but it had the same effect rolling down the mountain and into the valley where I was shooting.
I’ll say…. Little bit jealous.
I could send you a picture in the morning jus to rub it in a little.
