Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using TapatalkYes this is the first 19 rounds. The first one at 50 was 1" high then 3 @100 were 4" high.
Oh I called both flyers...the groups are the same location. 20mph crosswind. Looking forward to 200 yards tomorrow! This is FUN again

Sent from my SM-N910V using TapatalkThat's not bad at all then given the conditions and a new barrel... make sure you don't over heat the barrel:)

Ted,

Factory barrel? I need to shoot my 22-250. I have it scoped and ready to go, I just need to find the time to shoot it.

OK, I have some Hornady 53 gr V-Maxs incrementally loaded with Winchester 748, but not that hot. I decided to try 748 because I read it burns cooler, which tends to help barrel life. I do know brass using 748 ejects from my AR-15s significantly cooler to the touch than brass loaded with other powders, but not sure how that translates to helping barrel life.

They did well as long as I stuck with 55 grain bullets. If you have a 1 and 12 Barrel twist you'll probably find that 50 52 53 grain bullets are too light and you won't get the kind of consistency you're looking for. When it was all said and done I settled on h380 because it by far gave me the most accurate results and consistent results but the w748 did pretty good as well as long as I stuck with 55 grain bullets

I did find out the backstory on the naming........interesting and not what I would have guessed.

I picked up my .308 from Cabela's this morning at around 10:45. I saw one other person picking up his 12FV. I was in and out pretty quick, even with their system they have. I was glad to get that out of the way.


I have noticed something odd about the 12FVs. I have 3 now. I first bought the 22-250 earlier this year.......February I think. I bought a Creedmoor and .308 during this last sale. Even though I ordered it last, I received my Creedmoor almost immediately. And, of course, I just got my hands on the .308. Interestingly, the 22-250 and .308 both have the notched barrel nuts. The Creedmoor has a smooth one.

I can drive it all the way up to 41gr and I don't lose any accuracy but I stick with 38 gr to conserve powder and barrel :) I think all my savages had the smooth nut but on 2 of them when I went to shilen barrels I also got the precision ground lug and nut.
