Its been a while since i posted on my rifle build and today i confirmed my final load. My previous post found here https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/signs-of-accuracy-new-shilen-barrel.887540/
As it turns out my build is very accurate. More accurate than i am on most days. The surprising part is the bullets which happen to be Barnes Matchburner 140 gr and to be honest and i went with Hornady brass rather than my tried and true Peterson mostly because of the shortage. I guess what matters most is results.
So far i have seen nothing but accuracy. I feel i am blessed to have the components i do have and to be honest i did not expect this much accuracy from a barnes bullet but its definitely proven itself worthy.
What has not proven itself worthy is me and a bipod. I just shoot so much better with bags or bag rest combo.
Enough chitchat how about some results? Well today i managed a .254” group with a load i have tested 2 prior times and on my worst day it was .44” @100yds. With an SD 5 and ES of 11 over 15 rounds i think i can lock it in and plan my trip to ThunderValley for some 1,000 yard plinking.
