I was testing some loads for my rifle today. And I had a very strange outcome.
Rifle Henry SS in 44M - bullet 429215 50/50 alloy PC - 296 powder 18 gr to 20 gr. range 50 yards off of a bench - red dot sight. There were 5 rounds each of 18 -18.5 - 19 - 19.5 - 20 grains
With each increase in powder there was a decrease in point of impact. In total there was a 6" drop in point of impact from top to bottom. Accuracy stayed consistent. There was no left or right movement just up and down?
What can account for my outcome?
