Perfect morning to shoot other than the bugs. The WI state bird was in full force (mosquito)
I took 6 rifles and all did well.
I shot dad's 25-06 with a different 3-9 and after I got it zeroed, shot a group just over 1". The same ammo with the Leupold I just sent back shot .5" one time and over 2.5" the last time. I think there is something wrong with the scope.
My 22-250 was used to burn time and the 6 rounds I had left over. Group #1-.793 and group #2-.584". I would like to get a fine crosshair scope on this rifle to really see what it can do. I have a Nikon Buckmaster with a heavy reticle right now.
My Ruger 25-06 with 110AB shot 2 groups. One at 1.074 and the other at .709. I am calling it good and hope to take it deer hunting this fall.
Since the switch to 180 AB from the 165 PT in my late father-in-laws Sauer 202 has been great but I wanted to see if I could get it to shoot sub MOA 3 times in a row and today was day #3. I shot and hit the .5" bull on the cold bore then shot 2-3 shot groups. The first one was not my best shooting and I shot a 1.356. Group #2 was a group that makes me very happy. .664" and 1.5" high at 100 yards. Wow was I all smiles after that. So I have shot 4 groups with this combo and 1.356 was the worst and I know I did not shoot the greatest.
My 6BR is getting closer to being done with load dev. I shot 30.2 grains of Varget tried different depths from .012 jam to .006 jump. .000 and .003 jump were the best at .231 and .221" I am going to try different neck tension next.
The last rifle was the M1. I have been hitting low at 100 yards with it so I wanted to zero it in. I was able to get most of my shots about 3" below the bull before I maxed out the elevation. I guess I will just have to aim high when I get to 100 yards and beyond.
It was one of the best days at the range in a long time. To get all the rifles that have been driving me crazy to shoot under 1" was great.
