New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
What would you all consider to be the top most inherently accurate 2000 yard calibers? I'm talking if the shooter is an expert marksman and an expert wind reader, what caliber is known for the best 2000 yard accuracy.
I know this may be a loaded question, but I am looking for what calibers stand out as being the most accurate out to no farther than 2200 yards, PLUS have above average barrel life. I know an ELR caliber probably doesn't have 308 barrel life so I am not suggesting that. This will be for target...
There were a few times I let it get pretty hot were it was too hot for me to touch the barrel. Not many, may about 5 times, but I guess it only takes maybe one time getting it that hot for it to stop shooting?
Not good. I was shooting at 1627 yards on a pretty much windless day at my 24 inch plate and one shot would hit the plate then the next would hit 2 moa in front of the plate. It went back and forth the whole time doing that.
Ok, let me know if this happens to you guys sometimes like it does me.
I did an 8 shot velocity test looking for consistent velocities with my magnetospeed v3 for load development.
The following numbers is what I got: 82gr 2931fps...
Only thing I can figure is that a shot it pretty hot a few times this past summer in hot weather and that started the process of it burning up quicker.
I shot 84gr of h1000 225eldm and then switched to 86.5 gr of h1000 215 bergers for the rest of the time. Was averaging 3090 with the bergers. Barrel length is 26 inches. Yes I bore scoped it. It looks rough.
