Besides shooting the Mauser 358Win for the first time today, I shot again the remaining full power rounds that I had shot at 100yards using Ian's premium cast bullets:
I also had some rounds that forum member "popper" gave me to try on my rifle. This was the 50 yard target:
- Top left - Ian's bullet - 41.5gr Varget (not only the best group at this combination, but this is also the smallest cast bullet group I have ever shot at 50 yards with this rifle)
- Top right - Ian's bullet 42.0gr Varget (note that at 100 yards this was also a larger group than the 41.5gr group)
- Bottom left and right: tried 5x shot groups, twice, but obviously my rifle does not do well with this combo:

Thanks Ian and popper for letting me try these
