What ammo are y’all getting the best results with. I know every gun is different,I’m looking for a starting point.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I can find some of those to try

 

[Kisssofdeath]

I'd say try any of these.

 

[Bbeard]

That’s awesome thanks. What trigger are you running.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Thanks, I have the Elftmann 700se in this one. Unless Elftmann reduced the trigger housing it won't fit in the DBM on the B-14R. I had them shave mine down to fit.

docohm, how many shots and/or groups to get the average? You may have to rename the SK Long Range Match to Short Range Match.

 

[docohm]

No in average means the number of 5 round groups...

I've since started sorting the ammo by weight and then rim thickness, the groups have tightened up considerably! All SK Long Range Match since most of my local matches are run at 50 yds.

I might have to start back trying sort and see what happens. A lot of us tried it back in my IHMSA days and the general consensus was it wasn't worth it.
