I went to the range early this morning to take advantage of some great weather. There was virtually no wind when I started and it picked up to a slight breeze of maybe 1-2mph by the end of the shoot.
This time I was shooting 155 Lapua Scenar’s to see how seating depth would affect them, I am loving the result. The barrel twist and reamer were chosen for this round and now I can see the great results of those choices…amazing groups. I was following the same setup as I did with the 175smk just a few days ago:
- 2.055″ = 15 thou jump
- 2.060″ = 10 thou jump
- 2.065″ = 5 thou jump
- 2.070″ = touching the lands
- 2.075″ = 5 thou jam
- 2.055″ = 15 thou jump
I was shooting 5 shot groups at 100 meters this time and the groups were quite good except for number three. I pulled that one out of the group so it should have been better.
- 0.716″ = 0.622MOA
- 0.662″ = 0.574MOA
- 0.523″= 0.454MOA (4 shots into 0.199″ = 0.173MOA)
- 0.822″ = 0.714MOA (I don’t know what happened here)
- 0.407″ = 0.353MOA
- 0.664″ = 0.576MOA
