Well I had to goals today. One was to try my new steel targets out and the other was to get results from 3 rifles. Hitting the steel worked great and at 200 yards I was hitting the 3" with ease with the 6.5 Grendel and 6BR. Now to find a nice long field.
Up first was dad's 25-06. The first load dev showed promise but as of late the T3 has not been shooting well. Today I tried a new bullet with RL19. I used the 115PT and got poor results.
45gr-2.932
47gr-2.336
49gr-2.126
I am using Remington nickel brass and I know that I am not getting consistant neck tension so after I shot the rest of the lot up and plan to try the 110AB with IMR4350 next time out.
Next up was the Browning Medallion 270 with H4831sc and 130 B-Tips (the trigger has a lot of travel so that needs attention and for some reason, this rifle has some snap to it.)
55gr-.518
57gr-.977
59gr-2.842
Last was the 338wm with 210PT and RL19.
75gr-4.140"
73gr-3.573"
71gr-3.648"
I almost left it at the range. When I got home my wife, who really doesn't care asked, "How did you shoot?" I showed her the 338 targets and she said, "well at least it is consistent with the big groups."
What would you try with the 25-06 and 338wm?
