Range report??

hundmeister · Jun 10, 2014

I was at range yesterday and taught I'd show my results on here to see what you all think. I'm wondering wich group you guys think I should persue and load up. I'm very sure gun went off when I was holding left on #5 dot Towards the edge of the 1/2 inch dot. Gun is a tikka t3 varmint in 22-250 shooting 52g Berger varmint bullets Cci br2. Win brass varget powder.

Velocities? Standard deviations? Accuracy is essentially identical in your loads. With only that information, any of your groups are worth pursuing.

I agree with DrMike,there is potential in all of them. Thank you for the photos.

33, 34-34.5 look good to me because there is little to no vertical in the groups. Id concentrate around 34-34.5 however.

load them up again and shoot 200 or 300 if you can, and try get some speed numbers to collect a bit more data.

If it were me id do 33.7, 34, 34.3, 34.6

Shoot and confirm the load a few times on different days and ranges to ensure it is indeed a good consistent load.

I like group 3 and 5, shooting them again for consistency might be a good idea. Personally I'd take those 2 loads and start varying seating depth. I know you are limited in OAL due to the magazine but sweet spots exist further off the lands also.

Very nice! Gotta love a 22-250! That looks like you have the pick of the litter if they are consistent.

Dr. mike has a good point with the chronograph however as we all know reloading costs money. I had one for about a week tried to get it to pick up velocities and guess what, in movin it closer to sensors I accidently shot it.. I'm not planning on buying another one. I have reloaded some more 33.8-34-34.2 to try out at longer range. see what happens. I'm also wondering what's the most precision ill get out of it im sub moa at this point.
