    22GT load data

    I’ve seen where folks have had good results with R26, but has anyone tried H1000 in the .22GT yet? Thanks, John

    What seating depth is actually doing...actual node or just pass/fail?

    I’ve never measured erosion rate so took him at his word. What is the erosion rate for say, a 6.5 Creedmoor? John

    What seating depth is actually doing...actual node or just pass/fail?

    Very good series on seating depth on Precision Rifle Blog. I’ve attached a link to the summary, but the whole series is a very good read. https://precisionrifleblog.com/2020/04/28/bullet-jump-research-and-load-development-tips/ I have read over the years that kissing the lands or a light jam...

    22GT load data

    Shot these five at 800 yards yesterday. 35gr H4350 behind 88gr ELD. As expected, barrel has sped up a bit. This load is doing 2930 from 20” barrel. Black dot is about softball size for reference. Shot this sow with same load this evening at about 175 yards. Muddy spot is POI. No exit...

    22GT load data

    Just in case y’all haven’t heard yet, Forster is making .22GT dies. I picked up a full length sizer and Micrometer seater from Graf’s. Had to buy them separately, as they don’t offer that combo in a set. John

    22GT load data

    20” 7 twist .219 bore. H4350 is all I’ve tried so far. I did work up to well over 37gr but was starting to see mild pressure signs, groups were garbage and I only achieved 3065fps, which from a 20” barrel, probably isn’t too bad. Going to try some 6.5 StaBall I guess. John

    22GT load data

    Did some more load work up on my .22GT. Once I found max, I concentrated on higher charges hoping to find accuracy with 88gr ELD-Ms at 3000fps or more from my 20" Osprey barrel. Alas, it was not to be. This barrel decidedly did not like any charges of H4350 greater than 36gr, grouping a bit over...

    Mules redeployed

    It might show that, but I don’t know which is worse to think about. Either the libtards are: cheating and stealing the elections or They are really that effed up in the head and are actually really voting that way. Which is worse? I suppose if they’re cheating, that could be rectified, but...

    What makes a bullet accurate?

    I’m not an engineer but would think complete bore obturation would be absolutely essential, which would come back to bullet hardness, which I guess would lead back to alloy selection. Some of the early Barnes mono bullets had a reputation for excessive fouling, I suppose because the alloy was...

    2024: What are you thinking now- other than Trump.

    I think I’d like to see Desantis run with Kristi Noem as his VP. John

    Suppressors Stealth Project LLC Suppressors... any thoughts on them?

    Finally got my Stealth Project Recon direct thread .30 cal (now called bolt) out of jail after a 14 month wait for the BATF to approve my form 4. This is my first suppressor so I can’t make any direct comparisons to their competitors. After firing it on my 24” 6.5 Creedmoor and 20” .22 GT, what...

    22GT load data

    Took my match gun up to Jon Beanland of Beanland Custom Rifles to have my M24 contour Osprey Barrel Works barrel blank fitted. Jon does absolutely 1st class work and having used several ‘smiths over the years, I’m convinced there is no one that does better. Anyway, Jon had good things to say...

    Osprey Barrel Works range reports?

    Mine should be here Monday. Going to be chambered by Jon Beanland in .22GT. Looking forward to ringing it out. John

    Osprey Barrel Works range reports?

    I usually shoot Bartlein and have been very pleased with them but lately, they, Brux, and Krieger have been unavailable anywhere I’ve looked. So, I ordered an OBW from Patriot Valley but I have seen almost no range reports or anything that gives me an idea of what to expect. For those that...

    Rifle Scopes Tract TORIC UHD Hunting Rifle Scope Review

    Some folks wanted to see a pic of the reticle at 2.5x, so Ive included that. After request from folks on Rokslide, I called Jon Allen and asked if he would allow me to hold on to the scope for a bit to conduct a Formidilosus style drop test. He agreed. First part of the test was to establish...
