Today it took 4 hours to shoot both rifles looking for ocw's for each rifle. I promised to do it Newberryisk, but I cant help myself I have to mess with things. I kind of did it 6.5 guys way. The main difference is shooting the entire string then letting the barrel cool and moving on to next powder level. Between strings I swapped out from the 6.5 to 338 to allow barrels to cool and back and fourth. I havent crunched all the numbers yet but the ones that I did i am pleased by my ES across the board they were in high teens and low 20s. Not the best but a ton better than 114 i was getting last time. yest 114. I did get some large spreads on the 338 but I feel it had more to do with not being annealed causing various amounts of spring back. So that will be an area that will get more attention next time around.
Tomorrow I will use on target and measure a few of the winners to see what the spreads are. Some times the chroney would say some wild number differences yet the target showed fairly tight group.
And one last thing to be thinking about. My heaviest load was 92 gr of H1000 with 300 gr SMK. cci200 primer. The very last round was very sticky. I had to "pop" it out and one other from that 5 was a stiff bolt lift. The primers all looked good I will post pictures so you can help me look for pressure signs. My pos chrony error so many friggin times. I almost shot it on purpose. Magneeto speed on order.
Seriously, if someone would like an entry level chronograph please make offer. Been used twice. 50 bucks?
