    First ten shots through the Edge



    I found myself a little tense, sweating on the first shot after reading some
    of the posts about the intimidating recoil. I was pleasantly surprised with the
    combination of Sin Arms muzzle break, gracoil reducer, and of course a 9 lb. barrel.
    The first ten break in shots were fun and quite accurate!

    I bought some VV165 yesterday, going to try this, and one person swears on RETUMBO! I may give it a try as well!

    Re: First ten shots through the Edge

    Dennis, I have had better accuracy results with Retumbo than with H1000 when I was shooting mine as a single shot in the Stockade stock before the XLR arrived. I didn't shoot over the chrony so I am not sure on overall performance, but accuracy was better given the same COAL, bullets, brass, primers, rifle, conditions, ect.

    Yessir, I too find my setup likes Retumbo best, so far.

    Re: First ten shots through the Edge

    OK, I have my Retumbo and 300grn SMK's and Scenar's. 92.5 + - seems to be my load.

    SMK's are working well .030 off, Scenar's about .010 in. I am willing to try something different as my tightest groups are only about .450 @ 100yds.

    2810 to 2840 seems to be the speed.

    Any recommendations on COAL?

    Have not been home enough to develop diff jumps. Started all so far with. 065 jump
    I have better luck so far at 300 to 500 yds, don't think this round stabilizes till past 100 yds

    Re: First ten shots through the Edge

    Yes, looks like I am going to load some and dedicate a day to go to the 300 yd range! I am close.

    Let me know on the 250gr loads!

    Might even try some 225 accubonds also!
