Rifle- Bergara HMR premier action
Barrel- 30" Krieger custom Heavy contoured by local smith 1-7 twist 30" long
Chasis- XLR element
Optic- Athlon Midas Tac 5-25x56
Just measured them with Ballistic x and got
1).494 moa 2).788 moa 3).425moa 4).445moa
All of these were 5 shots groups.
I had a nice load using 140eld-m but last weekend during a 1000 yard match after about 15 shots the jackets were coming off. i shot three of those today just to ensure I was zeroed and they were going 3060 fps on average. I feel like with the twist rate being at 7 and the extreme heat I was shooting in (100 degrees and no shade in Moyock NC) last week that I needed to go to a heavier bullet. I feel like I am going to go with the 56gr and call it done. See notebook in pick for Data. What do you guys think? Primary purpose of this rifle is 1000 yard matches maybe 3 to 4 a year.
