NICE groups! I'll have to try the 77's in my 5R since I have them on hand, the old standby Hornady 75 HPBT's are nowhere to be found. How were you seating them off the lands?
I took a neck sized case an set the 77 grain bullet in it then chambered it in my rifle. The bullet seated its self. You measure that with a micrometer then subtract fifteen thousandths so you are not into the lands. The stock is a bell and Carlson a5 I believe. Picked it up a while ago.
They are so much FUN to shoot!! My shooting partner has the exact same rifle. I took it out to 925 yards 2 weeks ago. It was factory lapua... I believe it was a 69 grain Scenar. That or a 69 can't remember. His doesn't shoot as good as yours... That's like a custom. You ought to shoot ftr with that rig!!!
I do shoot FTR but with a custom 308. I may take this out next time around if the wind will cooperate with me. I just hate shooting the .223 because we have multiple winds across the club we shoot NRA high-power at.
"His doesn't shoot as good as yours..."
Well Aimsmall...as I know that you know...that depends on the driver. I'll post some groups this week next time out to my range.
Oh Lord, I didn't say it doesn't shoot... As we both know it hammers.... Quit being shady and call me back. I'm ready to shoot
Thanks, for posting that. I "got one", about 6 mos. ago, and haven't had the time to shoot her, or do loads. Shot some factory Remmy's, but that's all. Nice to know she could be a shooter.
