I have been firing an assortment of ammo trying to determine what ammo the rifle likes best. I have tested 9 different ammos thus far and have 3 more on the way. I have bought ammo ranging in price from $2.60/50 to $13.00/50. Today I found one ammo that my gun "really" likes.
This is my results thus far:
Anschutz 64 MP R Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25X50 bipod rear bag
rank Ammo $ / 50 avg. 5 shot group
at 50 yds
1 Wolf Match Target $ 4.90 0.235
2 Eley blk match pistol $13.00 0.255
3 Eley Sport $ 3.00 0.350
4 CCI Target $ 3.60 0.435
5 Wolf Match Extra $ 6.90 0.525
7 CCI "green Tag" Comp $ 4.50 0.630
8 Rem Target Rifle $ 7.50 0.950
MFG. Eley LTD.
9 Rem Target Std Vel $ 2.60 1.350
First day to shoot any of the Wolf Match Target and the gun just seemed to really like it a lot. This was the last day I have during the month of May that I knew I would have time to shoot. I wanted to get a round in on the SH 100YB TQ-4 Comp for May.
Depsite the 12-15 mph wind, I decided after I saw how the gun shot the Wolf Match Target at 50, I'd give the 100YB TQ-4 a go for score.
Zeroed at 50 I was 6 MOA up and decided with the wind gusting 12-15 mph, but from a fairly constant from 6 to 11 set 2 MOA left.
After three previous 100YB TQ-4 practice runs in the past two weeks, here are todays results that I will post as my May 100YB TQ-4 score.
248 with 17 x's
I was confident the gun would shoot a clean 250. After using the Wolf Match Target, as several here suggested, and a few more practice rounds, I am now fairly convinced that I can clean this target from the bench using a bipod. That is my goal for June. I also hope to start shooting from the NEW TO ME!!! prone position during some of June practice.
