sauer Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 well went out yesterday and shot 5 rounds with a shoot one clean then shoot one then clean regime then out today told to 5 shots then clean then repeat till i get to around 50 shot total well 1st 5 rounds at 30 yards just to get onto the paper then straight out to 100 yards and i had it shooting around 0.75" ish now that was with homeloads that i found !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After reading Ronins load for 100grn speer hotcore it rang a bell so i went hunting and found 35 loads of said speer hotcore rounds but with 52grn of vhit N160 so i tried to chamber them thinking they probably wouldnt go but they did!!!! so im shooting better than i ever have with this and a load i found for the old sauer!!! so bit of tweaking with seating depth coz i think its actually on the lands and im not increasing loads untill i back them off 15thou or so and try again with 52.0grn of vhit. but so far sooo goooooood!!!!!!! paul / sauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako75 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi Sauer That’s certainly a very nice looking rifle and should drill tiny little holes in those varmints etc; an excellent choice of calibre Must say those scope mounts look like they will never move ATB bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
