Shooting my RPR. Previously loaded 20 rounds of 6.5 CM for a Kimber Hunter. Did not work out so well so I dropped the project. The bullet used was a 130 grain Berger. Since I had never tried them in the RPR, I thought I would give the 130 grain Bergers a try.
The RPR shoots 143 Hornady ELD-X’s and Berger 144 hybrids almost equally well, getting some pretty good groups even for this oldster. They get easily around a half inch for three shots. However, the 130 Berger’s put three shots in 2 inches. Same powder, same primer and OAL.
Not a problem, I am happy with the Hornady 143’s and the Bergers. Just thought it was wild that one firearm would go from a tack driver to a shotgun with a change of bullets. (And later in the day, shooting at 500 and 600 silhouettes, it was spot on with the 144 Bergers. )
