Range day 7 Nov 13

[FOTIS]

Well had some fun today and did some good. I had 5 rifles with me.
30-30 30-06 25-06 7mm rem mag 264 win mag


The Marlin Microgroove was by far the funnest! After sighting it in with the 160 FTX handloads I commenced to break softball sized rocks at 200 yards finish off my ammo.



The Ruger American was a hero to behold! Nothing over an inch!

165 BT at 2850



165 PT at 2850



180 AccuBond at 2775 fps




7mm rem mag---gotta work on that. Basically accuracy



25-06 gotta work on that. Velocity and accuracy with retumbo



264 gotta work on that. Velocity and accuracy

On the whole, some fine riflery. You're in the groove.

Looks pretty good Fotis.

With the 100 gr bullets in the .25-06, consider a somewhat faster burning powder. Should be able to pick up about 100 fps more.

A range day like that would cause the consumption of a few cold ones in celebration for me!
You DEFINATELY need to lengthen out the distance!
Looking forward to more pics when you do!

 

[FOTIS]

Have to redo 25-06, 264 and 7mm mag

Those look quite good, the Retumbo 264 WM load could go quite a bit higher by the looks of it, all of the guns look like they are going to be shooters though.

Thank you Gerry

My range day was windy, cold, and rainy. I did find out my Scout really likes 140 gr. Nosler Custom Comps with AA 4064. I also found out that my gopher gun, a .22LR, was shooting about 10" high, I got that corrected and then worked on my POI shift with the can on, that added another 2" high but windage was good. I can live with that. My Scout turned in a couple of nice 1.5" groups, which is a nice turn from the 3" groups with 168 grain bullets.

Fotis, fine range Day! Anytime that I can get all of the rifles that I am shooting to shoot below MOA, I have had a good day. Looking good!

 

[Hegland]

Yessir, looks like a heap of dead antelope to me. Good show!

 

[sask boy]

Thanks Fotis, as usual you have them all well on their way to being sub-1" MOA.
Can't wait until your next range report!!

Blessings,
Dan

Man, that 30:30 group is something else.I like that load. Was that with irons or a scope?

 

[FOTIS]

Scope 1.5-5 Burris

 

[Silentstalker]

Very good shooting!
