Browning Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 After two days of working loads up and messing about with seating depths, I think the new baby is now ready to see some action.... Loaded for 75gn VMax in Lapua brass using Fed 210 primers Worked powder charge up from 43gn to 46gn H414, in .5gn increments. Finally settled for 45.5gn. Then worked OAL from 2.230" to 2.275" (Measured to Ogive), and ended up 2.270" OAL to Ogive, which is just touching the lands. No signs of pressure at all, so I'm happy to run with this load. This is what she will do at 100yds with a 3 shot group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 come on Browning get some pictures up ide of been out by now seeing whats about in the way of Mr fox Hi Dougy, I'm not really one for posting pictures of things that I've shot, unless it's something different or spectacular, after all we've seen so many pictures of dead foxes and they all look the same to me...... I did however take a couple of foxes last night, both touching on 200 yards, and the 75gn VMax certainly did it's job. I also culled some mixy rabbits yesterday afternoon. The longest was ranged at 247yds. All shot exactly at point of aim, so I'm very happy with the rifle so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, must addmit i dont always post pictures. thats a fair way for rabbits, nice shooting that scope is certianly worth the money. I have something in the pipeline for next year and will definitely go for another IOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
