Notes
Started at 38 grains, shot fair, but not good, went up .3 grains at a time, got worse, started getting better, at 39.5. Went to 39.8, got real decent. Shot a lot of good groups on the gongs at 400 yards. Best was this two inch group on a 4 inch gong, at 400 yards. Wind was hitting me quarter in my face from the right. It would blow hard, then lay. It was a bit hard to read. Of note, I bought a magpul magazine that fits AIC rifles. It feeds WAY, better than the AI mags, at half the cost.

2" group at 400 yards - good shooting and the load seems fine.
