Hendrix's rifle Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Just got in from some load testing and to say I'm happy is an understatement. The following groups were shot at 110 yards in conditions that were frankly shocking. Also, I didn't have the bipod on so was using my rucksack (forgot to put it in my bag...) wind speed was 7mph ish up to 20mph when it was gusting quite badly. I tried taking shots in between gusts but alas, not everything goes to plan both groups were an inch or under http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/bwbiker95/media/20170218_025037_zpsv7a49ptq.jpg.html?filters[user]=144943119&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=1 That group was just over .8inches, it is a 5 shot group may I add, I think one of the bullets went through the same hole. I have a feeling if it wasn't windy and I was steady it would have been a ragged hole. http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/bwbiker95/media/20170218_024957_zpsiywizw52.jpg.html?filters[user]=144943119&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0 That again was a 5 shot group, the one at the very bottom was when I was sighting it in so ignore that one, you can however clearly see its bang on an inch. With a bit of luck when I next get out it won't be as windy and il try it in daytime when I can! Anyway, them 2 groups look most promising, the more powder the better the group by the looks of it. The 2 other groups opened up but on the last 1 I shot (the .8 one) it had started tightening back up and I have another 1.3g before max load with no signs of pressure YET. Having just measured the other 2 none of the groups were over 1.3inches. One very happy but tired lad so off to bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
