doing load tests I have more faith in my data when it is taken off a rest,,I can shoot fair off the Atlas bipod and a rear bag but to get solid data that I can trust to repeat I need to test off a rest,,and shooting the AI Chassis off a rest isnt ideal either,,especially with a front heavy 7 lbs barrel the balance point is to far back causing the stock to bounce on the rear bag instead of sliding back,,
as I need to test them off a rest so I made a plate to widen the stock to fit my 3 inch front bag and move the balance point about 6 inches forward and put about 3.5 extra pounds on the rear bag,,it really helps a bunch in how it recoils on the bags and I believe I have a good load and it is only about a 3 minute job to remove and have the Atlas Bipod back on ,,
looks like the 120 Berger is gonna be my 200-500 yard load and the 130 VLDs 600 and out,,unless the 123 Scenars shoot a lot better with RL15 than they did with Varget,,
please done laugh at my redneck enginering
