Quick range trip

[wisconsinteacher]

Well it was very nice after work so I picked shooting over bowhunting and hit the range. (having 2 deer in the freezer helps make it easier to skip a night)

22-250
This rifle is staying consistent since I bedded it this past winter. 3-3 shot groups at 100 yards.

#1=.875
#2=.905
#3-.875

I am going to play with it a little to see if I can get it down to .5"

I did shoot a 200 yard 4 shot group that measured 1.479"

25-06 with 115PT

RL19
50.5gr=1.984"
51gr=2.642"
51.5gr=2.026"

IMR 4350
48.0gr=1.355"
48.5gr=1.749"
49.0gr=1.850" 2 touching 1 out

338WM with 71.5gr of Win760 and 210 PT shot a 5+ inch group at 100. I got some new brass tonight so I will see what virgin brass does.

The 22-250 is performing for you. The 25-06 and 338WM are looking for the load that puts a permanent smile on your face. I can't imagine that the brass is the sole component lacking on your 338, but it won't hurt to try new brass.

I am guessing the brass is not the main reason but the brass I have has been shot in a few different rifles and I have no clue to how many times it has been worked. I only had 30 pieces so I needed more. I am going to try 225 Hornady bullets next. The 25-06 shoots 87 grain Sierra's like crazy, I just want to shoot a better bullet for deer hunting.
