Had a couple bragging groups at the shooting range today of 100 yards. The Lower group is actually a 5 shot group and the bullets are Kind of a Funny Story. About 20 years ago when you could buy reloading supplies on eBay I was buying some bullets from a guy with the last name of Royal. He was making them himself and advertising the jackets to be like those of Sierra match Kings and somehow he was bonding the internals. Pretty sure I saw his name on the corbon website for buying some of their Swaging equipment.
Anyhow I've been having pretty good luck with superformance in my Tikka 30 odd 6. It's about a hundred FPS slower than advertised but with 180 grains it's been really accurate for me. I dusted off the 20-year old bag of bullets and loaded up 5 of them at the guns preferred jump to the lands and down to the range i went. Sometimes when you're out to have fun crazy things happen.
I had a little more fun ...the group you see on the upper right was four shots of a real reduced load I'm working up for a Buddy's daughter to go deer hunting in a 270. I used some Lyman data with a start load of i 4198 and the little 110 Vmax is loafing along at 2500 out of my Marlin 270. The es was amazingly good considering it was not even 75% fill.
Before anybody pats me on the back for good shooting I have to admit I use a LEaD sled and my thirty-ought-six has A 5- 15 minox and my 270 has a 10x Bushnell tactical.... the reason I shot it 100 today was the winds were pretty good and I didn't think 200 was going to be a fair test...just lucky...lol.
