Successful range trip with the 2 new rifles

[Matt_3479]

I just finished up 2 recent builds in the last month and finally found the time to get out and break them in and start working on fire forming and load development. First rifle is my latest prs build. Have a couple now but found an excuse lol.

rifle consists of;

impact 737r
KS arms 1:7.5 twist heavy varmint and benchmark 1:7.5 twist mtu
Tt diamond flat show
Mpa ba comp
chambered in 6bra

I picked the first load I could find for fireforming and load up and headed to the range. 0 load development and results look extremely good! Load was 2848fps with 105 hybrids with an sd of 5.6 and an es of 18 for 20 rounds.

Second is a coyote build I’ve been thinking about doing for way to long and finally started earlier this year and arrived early late june.

build consists of

KS arms SAR 3 lug action
Benchmark 1:10 twist #5 and a KS #5 1:11 twist.
McMillan htg
Hawkins bottom metal
Tt diamond

I loaded up an extremely mild load for barrel break in. Once finished I finished off 5 to re foul and did 4- 6 shot pressure tests from 26-27gr of 8208xbr in .2gr increments. 2 of the ladders consisted of 39gr blitzkings and 2 of 35gr bergers. I loaded up two of the same ladders for each bullet incase there was any misreadings on the chrony. 35 gr bergers look like they need some work, but the 39gr blitzkings just stacked on top of each other. The first round (26gr) from each ladder was a flier then 26.2-27 just looked too pretty. I have included the group with and without the flier just due to the fact both times it was 26g

overall I’m very pleased with the results from both rifles and looking forward to getting the 20 tactical tuned in and lots of practice before the cold weather comes and ready for coyotes, and looking very much forward to seeing what this bra can really do if this was just fire forming and 0 load development and 0 seating depth change!

then of course finished off the day with a friendly 22lr match.

They look good but I didn’t see a Mcmillan HTG on either one. The mc HTG is like the stock’s on the m40s aren’t they?

Sorry the never posted the picture of the 20 tac in the McMillan. Mpa is the 6bra, the bottom pictures is a rimx ans a vudoo.

Great looking rigs how do you like the Matrix chassis, been thinking about getting one.

 

[Matt_3479]

The matrix is still very new and to be honest not mine. My shooting partner picked it up last week and we put roughly 1500 rounds on it yesterday and Friday (about 600-700 from me) The thumb shelf is amazing, the grip angle and how it positions your trigger finger is almost perfect. It is very back heavy though, and if your interested in every using the actual thumb hole forget about it. It’s the most uncomfortable thumb hole I’ve ever felt. To the point it hurts, it’s too far back, you can’t even reach the trigger, it cranks your wrist.

Over all its very nice and strongly debating on adding one to my line up as well

That stock looks like a Mcmillan. Can’t help but love the Mpa Comp. chassis. Nice looking collection.

Thank you.

Sorry I’ll try and reword the original post. The first fun is the 6bra in the mpa chassis.
The second set of pictures (of the 4 groups) was shot with the 20 tac in the McMillan htg. The last picture was to finish off the day with the 22’s for a friendly little match, it’s got the rimx in the matrix and the vudoo in the krg.

I’m sure it’s me. In your description you listed a Mcmillan HTG on one of your rifles. I had seen a Mcmillan HTG on a m40 the other day and that’s why I mentioned that I didn’t see one in your pictures.
I see 2 rifles in the same picture. One looks like it’s in a krg w3 and the other is in a Mpa chassis. The bottom pictured rifle is in a stock that resembles a few different Mcmillan stocks but not the Mcmillan HTG.
Hopefully that clears things up
