snowz Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Went out this morning before the weather turned to test the new loads in my 222 and recheck some loads in the 260.

wildfowler.250 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 That's a sweet group! How complicated is it to get a gun to shoot that well? I'm tempted if it wasn't for the cost of the equipment to reload for my .22-250. But don't shoot my CFs that often so If a mate has the stuff for a .243 would I just need powder and dies? ATB!

Its not very hard to get any gun accurate, but the only way to get it is through re loading. Re loading equipment can be cheap or expensive, all depends on your budget and what you aim to achieve out of it. If your mate reloads, ask him if you can pop and and see how its done, you will need bullets, powder and dies or your specific calibre etc Reloading is easy (ish) its ow to understanding your rifle and rounds to see how to improve accuracy etc but it is VERY addictive. atb Rchard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose a bullet you want to shoot or a type of bullet you know shoots well from factory loads? Then alter the powder for the best amount? And then the seating depth for best depth? Or do you get an instant improvement compared to factory just by even powder weights and constant seating depths between loads regarless of optimum levels,(if that makes sense ). Hope you get something tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12borejimbo Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well done on the Charlie! Good shot too, did it make a mess the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 good work Fella, nice shot, he has some tail on him and dark coloured. The time taken to reload is always worthwhile when the shot lands,keep up the good work Cheers Maxwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowz Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I missed a sitter at 120yds before this one, don't know how??? No mess the other side. He was front on to me and as I squeezed the shot off he turned to go an had it in the side instead of front chest. Will pop out later to confirm drops out to 300yds an sit an wait for the crows an rabbits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to get the lowest SD and match harmonics of the gun to the ammo its a good route to take. I like your portable bench by the way is it home made?

Went out yesterday an nailed a few sub 200 yd crows in quite a blustery wind, must be shooters error lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to get the best accuracy out of a rifle is to reload factory ammmo even the best is still in consistent as are all mass produced items. Bench is home made, easy enough an cheap to make but I want to make it heavier an change the legs to male it more stable an less prone to move when resting on it, I can feel my heartbeat an breathing can be noticed sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However big changes have and are happening with factory ammo, posted a thread on it not too long back in the .243" with some 200yds plus groups. i remain a dedicated handloader however at 100 yds i maintain harmonics and SD have less to do with it than we might at first believe.

Dougy Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Good grouping Just goes to show why the 222 was and still is so popular, with probably the less "en vogue" shooters out there simple and accurate to reload and cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
