10-fp groups

billy · 12-23-2007, 05:34 PM

here are some i got today while trying to develop a load.
105 meters
6 shot groups

Johnny_Revolver · 12-23-2007, 05:55 PM

Here`s a target I used yesterday testing 165 gr BT Noslers and various charges of ADI 2206H powder. I think I found the right recipe, you guess which one told me the story

100 yards, strong head wind, I`m out there today to fine tune the zero.

Err, edit: with my VLP Savage, pretty guns shoot betterer

irish murphy · 12-23-2007, 05:57 PM

That is the load for your rifle billy.Dont worry about the flyer.I have used imr 4895 for a few different things and found it was very consistant.My martini 222 k rimmed shot its best groups with it,my martini 30/30 imp liked it too.If i remember right i might have even used it in my 300wm.Go with that load mate,its spot on.

Bill: shoot 3 shot groups, or have a sandwich between shots, you`ll avoid fliers

billy · 12-23-2007, 06:13 PM

it was 11 degrees F.
i wasnt much into hanging out.

hey my guns pretty.
if you like blocks of black metal and plastic.

Johnny_Revolver · 12-23-2007, 06:14 PM

Dang I envy you that cold, but only at the range. Barrel would be cooling before the pill hit the cardboard.

11f, man I`d have a fire going..

billy · 12-23-2007, 06:36 PM

yes indeed i dress warm but i have yet to find gloves that i would use with a rifle.
i need some of those mitts with the finger slit

Mooseman684 · 12-23-2007, 06:42 PM

Wait until you arent shivering and shoot it...I bet the groups get Tighter....LOL

billy · 12-23-2007, 09:10 PM

i measure a single hole smudge to smudge and then subtract that from the group hole.
single hole 0.281
group hole 0.811
group is 0.530

that is so you guys understand that i dont randomly make this crap up.

samuel · 12-23-2007, 09:23 PM

Good shooting.Dont expect miracles in nice weather like you are having.When it really gets cold so you can hold steady you will do better.By the way,our snow is gone but it turned cold again.In the 20,s. sam.

I use the gloves that weight lifters and such use. They have the fingers cut out and some padding in the palm area. Works for me. Not sure I would like them in 11 degree weather though.

Good shooting!

billy · 12-23-2007, 09:57 PM

MUST GET SMALLER GROUPS........MUST FIND MAGIC LOAD........

ArkansasHunter · 12-23-2007, 10:19 PM

Looks good billy but how far is 105 meters ? My Ruger Hawk Eye 308 shoots 3 shot groups with bullet holes that touch each other at 100 yards.

Thanks for using measurment i can understand brother.

billy · 12-23-2007, 11:14 PM

im going to take this out tomorrow morning.
my reloads today did better than the LAKE CITY MATCH 173 gr. ammo
i dont know what that means if anything except maybe this gun likes what i fed it.

murphy,
0.530 inches = 1.35 centimeters

irish murphy · 12-23-2007, 11:50 PM

The load you are using looks the goods billy.Unless you are going to be shooting competition or just like mucking around i would zero it and use it for hunting mate.

Its funny mate,we are metric system over here,but we still use the imperial system too.When we talk boat or tinnies its still feet.If someone tells me a tinny is such and such metres i still work it out into feet.

billy · 12-24-2007, 12:01 AM

i dont hunt .
this is a plaything.
i dont compete but i am always trying to beat my personal best with whatever firearm i happen to be fooling with.

dogman2 · 12-24-2007, 12:10 AM

Hey, if I had a shotgun patterened that good I would keep it
