Re: Chad Dixon 6mm Competition Match Scoped & Doped

what bullet are you shooting?
 
Re: Chad Dixon 6mm Competition Match Scoped & Doped

One assumes the up and right are based on a 100yd zero. Good assumption?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: DaveD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yes 100/100m zero.

Was back out today with broke_again (thanks for letting beat on your steel and your help Roy)

DA of 5,000
303m .9
387m 1.6
504m 2.4
589m 3.3

I have found the Hornady 105 BTHP and 105 A-Max to be pretty much interchangeable in this rifle.
One shoots just as well as the other.


For me the Berger 105 Hybrid are about .1 better out to 400m and .2 out past 500m than the Hornadys in both wind and elevation.

However the Hornadys are 1/3 less in cost as compared to the Bergers.


So far 341 rounds fired and it may be time to clean the bore of the rifle.
At 100y I couldn't get it to hold under 1MOA </div></div>

Dang, clean that pig!

Lets see pics of this rifle...sounds like a shooter!
 
Re: Chad Dixon 6mm Competition Match Scoped & Doped

Cleaned the bore and went out today,its back to 1/2MOA @100m
DA was 4900ft
500y 2.1mil/7.1moa/7.5iphy
600y 2.8mil/9.7moa/10.2iphy
700y 3.7mil/12.6moa/13.2iphy
800y 4.6mil/15.7moa/16.5iphy

Bullet is a 105 A-Max with a charge of 49g of H-1000
 
Re: Chad Dixon 6mm Competition Match Scoped & Doped

50g of H-1000 pushing a 105 Berger Hybrid @3287fps is the new load.
1/2MOA out to 800 yards
5.5mil to 1,000y with a DA of 5800
 
Re: Chad Dixon 6mm Competition Match Scoped & Doped

What's the barrel life? Similar to a 243, I presume?
