So once a year I get together with some "kin" in VA for a good old rock and roll session. We like to think Chris Kyle was there shooting along with us. Check out the shape of the muzzle blast and the decal on my cousin's shirt. This was not taken out of a video. It was a pic taken at just the...
So, I took my 338 out for a stretch today. I developed the load in roughly 70 degrees. I've shot it up to 95 degrees without issues. When I got to the range it was 26 degrees. I got set up and hung targets first. I got the ammo box out of the truck last. First shot at 100...bullseye. Second...
My first shot seems to run faster then the rest of the string. Take it out and I'm single digits. I've tested several times. It just seems like once the can heats up things stabilize . Gonna test again without the can but wondered if this was a common dynamic with cans.
Just read the article. It does put it into perspective for me. Helps me arrive at the conclusion that I'm happy with my results and don't need to go any further for my typical shooting.
So looking back over my notes here's what I got with a 139gr. Laupa Scenar and 43.0gr of IMR-4451 out of my 20" barrel w/suppressor.
CCI 200: FPS=2681, SD=16
GM210M: FPS=2725, SD=20
CCI BR2: FPS=2709, SD=10
SD's rounded up.
So I was at the range today. Had my pet load for the CTR but loaded with different primers. Shot them at 200yds. One of the primers, CCI BR-2, gave me an avg of 15 fps more and lowered my SD to 10 over 20 shots. My 4 group averaged 1.15 inch. Very pleased with both my set ups now. Time to stop...
