BegaraGumpa - something or other ( I just call him Grumpy - cause every time he posts a score it makes me grumpy)
is the one making things tough around here
He sure does. I can understand his using the Bergara Rifle but really commend him with his use of what looks to be a Leupold 3-15 scope. He must have the vision on an eagle.
I couldn’t get the app to score this - after many failed attempts- app scored this 89 - 123 - and 179 - I know it’s not a great target-but really app it’s not that horrible!!
Beginning to wonder if my barrels best days are behind it - roughly 8,000 rounds on it (since December) - not feeling nearly as tight as it used to

Hey Mr. Pudgy........
Not sure you can wear a barrel out with 8,000 rds..
I have about 22,000 rds on my barrel and just getting started. Keep up the good shooting!!
Pudgy, I assume you used your Bergara and Eley Tenex? If incorrect, I need the rifle and ammo sinfo so I can post your score.
Thanks!

Nicely done. I be Grumpy and you be Irritating. At this rate you are going to force me to retire and spend more time practicing.
You are going to get Gdawg09 all fired up when I tell him you used a CZ.
It’s Spring and time for the range again.
Not proud of this but thought I’d get a score in for April.
Two lousy scores in a row. I definitely have an off lot of ammo compared to my previous scores and shoots.
May be my last shoot with the factory barrel.
I am planning to put a non factory barrel on from Whidden gun works.
When I do that, which match will I shoot?
Thanks
John

John, you would move up to the Match Grade match. I have your score posted.
Good afternoon.
I shot my first Match Grade match today.
My new set up includes a new Criterion barrel from Whidden Gunworks. They took the blank and machined it for target match. I also had them to ammo test it to match me with the best ammo and lot at both 50 and 100 meters. The best match was Center X.
Whidden does a great job in their machining and customer service. I would recommend them to anyone needing a barrel.
The two shots I missed the 10 ring was due to me fighting a “floppy” target stand in a nice breeze today.
Otherwise I’m very satisfied that improvement lies ahead.

My initial target from my V22S with a new barrel, the MullerWorks 26” by DI David Lott with a modified Nevius chamber, was satisfactory. The chamber’s slightly larger shell area facilitates bullet alignment during engraving. I dedicated considerable time to optimizing the bolt to ensure consistent ignition. Further testing is required to determine if this modification enhances performance with different ammunition. Thus far, the results are satisfactory, not great.
Would you mind sharing how you're optimizing your bolt to ensure consistent ignition?
Thanks!
