The good
The bad
The ugly ..I had a strong breeze from R-L at 400 yards along with some mischarged cases. Lesson is not to text while loading.

Just a follow up on the N140, after trying to get a steady load to go with , I just haven’t seen the really small groups that are needed to compete at the level I’m looking for so rather than burning any more barrel life I’ll review the original H4895 ladder and re shoot it also the overlapping 31.0 gr

One last look at this before I load up for a match next weekend at Deep Creek MT. Hopefully it will be competitive.

Thx, considering the company I shoot with, just finding a spot in the top ten is quite an accomplishment.

How do you feel about it?

Considering the company I keep, top ten in light gun (5th in light gun score & 9th in two gun score) and thirteenth in two gun overall.. well I’m pleased but see room for improvement. I haven’t competed at 1000 since last July if I recall correctly, my gun handling can always use work.
Tomorrow the leader board can flip 180 also.

Tomorrow’s bench assignments below , a bit of luck is which relay a shooter is on and how finicky the wind gets during that relay.
Example here.. I’m on the last relay when the wind is normal the strongest.

I grouped a little better today, although j is still need to improve my scoring. I just walked in the door and haven’t really looked at my targets beyond a glance but I may need to be bolder on my hold over’s.

I’ll continue to tinker with the seating depth and also test one size smaller neck bushing, I’m at .004 under a loaded round OD now with a .261~ I have a .260 bushing sitting here so why not ?
I also have another new barrel getting chambered that I will break in that may shoot even smaller. This is what a 3.7 inch 1000 yard group looks like.

Thank you, maybe some of those frozen mornings at the range testing dumb stuff were worth the pain.

Yes, 6 BRA the current reamer I’m using continues the .268 chamber neck, I turn the brass to 0.01085 ( slightly under .011 thou ) giving me a .265 loaded round OD. The freebore is only 0.94 but it really likes the 103 grain VLD vapor Trail bullets jammed about .008
