snap_shot Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Well with a little break in the weather i decided to test a few loads which showed promise on the last trip out..... i got the distance to the lands sorted, as i just loaded the last tests to factory spec.... i headed out and tried the 58's which seemed a little poor in the win. brass that i had previous..... i had to full length size it and knock the shoulder back to get it to chamber in the newly built tikka..... shot 1/2 " but i was expecting better.... the wind was gusting and i put it down to that and poor brass..... i then decided to try the 87g v-max which had showed promise in two different loads...? i backed these of 20 thou from the lands as a test, and they shot slightly under 1/2 inch... letting the barrel cool for about 15 mins after each 5 shot test... i fired my last loads of 87 g v-max.... upon firing the first i knew i pulled the shot slightly, thinking there goes this test........ then i fired the other four....... it ended up like this..... outside to outside....... And as close to center to center as i could make out..... shot with 5 shot groups..... So dave i can confirm i have a shooter............... :laugh: i was truely chuffed to pieces....... thanks for looking... Snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
