It's a lot of fun with the 223, that's for sure!
Ya, it's right at about a minute of elevation. About as good as I'm gonna get with it, simply because 223 is just not known for low spreads. This load has like a 50 ES depending on the day.
The CB was totally my fault. I thought it would be a...
Took the R700 223 Wylde with 80.5g Bergers out again this evening. Shot 10 rounds at 1040 yards at the 20" plate. CB was just over the top, the next 9 is what you see. Wind was pretty light at 1-2mph and consistent, but every now and again it would pick up just a tad. 8 of the 10 went into...
I'll be picking one of these up in a month or two. My cousin is selling it to me for a price I can't refuse. No real use for it, but I have a couple ideas anyway...I already have 3 LR rifles that weigh 16-17#. A 223, 6 Creed, 7-300 Win mag. So my thought was to make this a lighter alternative to...
I like having and using both to cross reference.
Quite a few of my best loads have not came from a book, rather from my own testing/curiousity or working around someone else's pet load, of course after cross referencing.
The hodgon manual is pretty decent for a quick do all on most of the...
A nice accurate bolt action 22 LR is also a great cheap training tool. I shoot a lot through my CZ457 out to 300, and occasionally 4-500. Keeps me sharp with bench manners and breathing/follow through technique.
Can't go wrong with a Tikka. I would opt for one in an 8 twist so you can shoot...
It's an 8 twist. I only intended to shoot 75-80g bullets through it, and the occasional 53 vmax for splat factor. Since I'd be pushing the 75-80s around the 3K fps area with the 28" Bartlein, I figured an 8 twist would be more than adequate. Should've still probably went 7.5 but too late now...
Wanted to find a spot to shoot 1K at the range just a couple miles from my house. Typically can only get out to 500. I played around with onx maps and line distance and came up with a spot that would allow 1040 or so. Time to load the 4Runner up with the gear and head down the road. I got to the...
That'll do! 6 BRs are just the easy button.
I was always under the impression that a total neck clearance of up to .008" was ok. I think my 223 and 6 Creed are around .006" and my 7-300 around .004" I haven't seen any issues with either.
