Fotis,
I know that degree of accuracy is totally unacceptable for your standards. I would be more than willing to take the Tikka off of your hands. :lol:

Man, that 300 Win Mag with the 180 PT is ready for hunting! As if your 30-06, what a great day of shooting buddy. That 300 RUM seems to be getting it done as well! Sounds like a sweet bunch of rifles buddy. Any shooting with the 45-70 CB?

Looking forward to your next version of Elvira.. Sounds BAD!

Man you can't complain about the accuracy of them darn old Partitions. They are shooters.

 

[Kodiak]

With fine groups like those, your best excuse for missing just went out the window :mrgreen: !

Lookin' good,


Jim

Jake, with all of my cartridges, PT's have trumped ease of developing a load over the AB's. Probably just my wacky way of going about it, but them PT's will shoot, really well and they tend to hold their accuracy for as far as I wanna shoot them.

 

[RiverRider]

I dunno how you get results much better than that, Fotis...but can you REALLY live without a 788 chambered in .222 or .223? :twisted:

Scotty, I'm in the same boat vis-a-vis Partitions and Accubonds. Whatever the deal is, we're both practitioners of it. ABs sure work well in my Whelen, though. That one was easy.

 

[SJB358]

ABs sure work well in my Whelen, though. That one was easy.

Same here, forgot about that one. Load work was very fast with that cartridge. Matter of fact, I don't even change the seating die stem between the 250 PT or the 225 AB. Works like a champ for me.

Good job Fotis, I believe you could make a sling shot shoot sub MOA :mrgreen:
If you are sticking to those manufacturers they are probably in the top five :wink:

Blessings,
Dan

Now you know you're on paper at 25 yds., back 'em up to 100 and let's see how they do!! :mrgreen:
Seriously nice groups, Fotis!

[jmad_81]

Looks like your loaded for squirrels :lol:

Nice work!

Now that is funny. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[CatskillCrawler]

Those three rifles are ready for the fall. Nice work.

The Scirocco's are never given much bally-ho. Good bullet having a hard time overcoming their early accuracy knock. Not bad at all for a factory load.
