Firing pin, springs, FTF.

Was able to make it to the range today. Shot a number of different loads at 100 yards hoping to fine one that will work for the first weeks league shot. Think I found one.
Also shot a total of 70 rounds with not one single failure.



60gr VMAX with TAC, seated to 1.885" BTO with Remington 71/2 primers. 5 shots ea. round robin



60gr VMAX with Benchmark, seated to 1.885" BTO and Remington primers. 5 shots ea. round robin
Center row black are 2 ea. of this same setup that were loaded with A2460. The two black within the red circle are 10 rounds of cheap 62gr Hornady HPBT that I was getting from MidSouth but haven't seen any for 2 years.

Thanks all!

The rifle seems to exhibit 20% fliers, is this fairly common for your set up or something new ?

I believe a small amount is the rifle but most I admit falls back on me. In actuality switching to this 60gr bullet has made a measurable improvement over the 69gr bullets I was shooting last year. Plus some of what we see is me and rust. I have really not had the opportunity to shoot nearly as much this year as the past couple years. As it is now I am only able to shoot one day per week because the range has changed to winter schedule and when I am there working I've been having to work the 25yd pistol range. Last year I was shooting probably 3 days each week.

The fliers are a sign of inconsistent ignition.

Thats what I’ve experienced as well.

Do you set up wind flags when your tuning a load ? These are really important when evaluating targets.
