I think I'm there!

[JDMAG]

Well it did make it up to about 45 today with no wind.
I adjusted my COAL to 3.320 from yesterdays 3.290 and made some more rounds. I think I'll stop at this, it was a short trip to what I consider great performance.With just a little more tuning to the left and maybe up a little, I think I'll have it just where I want it. Thanks for the help!
This is yesterday 160 grain AB 7MM Mag Ruger #1
[

This is today, 4 rounds with the first for some reason being a "flier" Lets call it a "fouling shot"

Range was 100 yards

If it is shooting like that, shouldn't take more than one shot. Congratulations.

[JDMAG]

cant ya get a little closer? :lol:

I could but I dont wanna make any one look bad.

 

[GB300wm]

Looks great JD.....

 

[Powerstroke]

JDMAG,

Now now... you haven't put near enough time into that working up loads... that was waaaay too easy :wink:

Great Shooting !

 

[JDMAG]

I pay too close attention to posts on here that involve guns that I might have or may acquire sometime in the future. At one point Pop said something about the accuracy with 66 grains of RL-22 tending to be excellent. I think I concur!

 

[SJB358]

That is some excellent shooting. Nice to know I am on the right track at least. Scotty

 

[Greg Nolan]

That's an awsome group. It looks like you've got it just right and that rifle is going to work out real well. Congrats :grin:

 

[jtoews80]

1/4MOA, very nice group.

 

[jmad_81]

Nicely done, gotta love it when you don't have to spend three boxes of bullets to find a good load!

I'm with ya on this forum helping out. I have learned alot here and it has saved me a bunch of time, money, and frustration.

 

[bullet]

That is good to go and in a hunting rifle that is more than acceptable. Very good shooting and I am happy you are there with your load. Nothing like it when you have put time at the loading and shooting bench and it comes together.

 

[FOTIS]

Did you ever clock them?

 

[JDMAG]

I havnt yet. I still need a new chroney.
