Re: Short Action Customs - Does it Again!
Wow, I don't think it's legal to have such a nice rifle. That paint job is amazing.

223 Short Action Customs Reload Data
I have been working with the rifle for a couple of weeks now and I think I have got her dialed in. The target is 10 shots into a 1 MOA square at 100 yards. The one off to the right was my one called - oops flyer - yanked trigger shot.
The load for the rifle
77 Sierra Match King
Accurate Arms 2460 - 24.1 GR - Chrony 2780 FPS average
2.75 COAL and 1.88 at the Ogive.
I use Redding Match Dies and I have to say the dies are about perfect. A couple of weeks ago I got a Hornady Concentricity Gauge to check reloads. These rounds are normally .002 or below in being straight.
I also shot that group and put the AAC M4/2000 suppressor on the end of it. The first two rounds were 1.5 MOA LOW and about 1/2 MOA right. And, then the barrel would heat up and the group would drop 2 MOA from the original drop and settle in for a group. This will be interesting to watch to see if that remains the norm. The groups were tight but they would move once the barrel would get some heat on it.
