Loaded some 200gr LRN from Matt's bullets.  At 10yds, two hand, center hold, and single action.  First target is 2.4gr W231 and the second is 2.6gr W231.
I am wondering if the brits used the 6:00 hold.
I found it interesting that if I turned the targets upside down they would look just like my results with 158gr LSWC from Missouri Bullet.
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon.

Thanks A Sq. I only shot a few as a start.  I always use 10yds at first.  I am loading more and will use 20 & 25yds with a 6:00 hold.  Although I used single action, the double action is just fine.

I went back to the range  and put my target down at 20yds. Matt's 200gr .361 LRN with W231 2.6gr. 32 shots single and double action with a 6:00 hold. Except for a couple, I kept them inside the outer ring. I was pleased with the result, though not as good as a couple decades ago.
Did some SA at 15yds and you can pretty much shoot the bull out. The six o'clock hold made all the difference.
