Just out of curiosity, what was your seating depth or COAL with the 160gr CX bullets? On my '06 I found seating them deeper (away from the lands/jam) improved groupings.
Interesting results so far... glad to see the hand rolled stuff is bumping velocities up. I just started breaking in a new 7prc Xbolt and am looking forward to reloading for it. Thanks for the leg work here!
I’ve had great experiences with the 4dof app, as long as you take the time make sure you inputs for using the Zero Angle are as accurate as possible. If using zero range it’s a bit less accurate.
@OP, For your issue with the come up values may be a discrepancy with your “rifle info setup”...
Shot 180gr ELDM out of a new Browning X-bolt Mountain Pro SPR with a 20" barrel this weekend, only 6 shots, Average velocity was 2730fps. First round showed signs of high pressure (ejector mark), all others showed no signs of pressure on the brass. In full disclosure I had bore scoped and...
Went out this weekend to finalize some ballastics info with my hunting buddies and took a couple minutes to bore sight. Wasn’t putting a whole lot of time into this rifle (was focused on my ‘06), basically just want wanted to get it on paper and squeeze the trigger a couple of times.
I put a...
For this November’s Bull Tag I’ll be bringing a 30-06 Browning Xbolt Speed w/ Trijicon 3-18x44 Tenmile sitting in a McMillan Game Warden 2 stock, sending 168gr Barnes TTSX.
My late season cow tag will be the first trip for a Xbolt Pro McMillan LR SPR in 7PRC.
I run TBAC CB system on the hunting rigs for ultra 7’s (mainly cuz I have 2 Ultra 7s and several hunting rigs). Have a Dead Air Nomad and use the Area 419 hellfire system on my Aero Solus (use the omega adapter in the can when suppressed and use the match brake when not suppressed). I’ll use the...
Don't get me wrong, I really do like the Game Warden 2 stock (have a 30-06 Speed SR that I moved over to one), but it would be nice to have more options for Stocks, and maybe some options for triggers as well.
Just wanted to give an update on this thread... It looks like the X-Bolts in 7PRC are starting to hit the shelves. I ordered the X-Bolt Pro McMillan Long Range SPR in 7PRC (Model# 035584298) back in late April and it just came in yesterday. This model had everything I was looking for in a...
Just to drive the point home a buddy and I went down and qualified for that last month… 55 people and only 5 of us qualified (2 of which shot PRS/NRL comps, my buddy and I shoot more than most and the 5th spent a lot of time at that range). There were a lot of guys that talked a big game before...
Just curious, what's your load data for the 168gr TTSX load?
I'm currently running 54grs of H-4350 under them in Lapua brass and CCI 200. Not moving fast at all out of my 22" xbolt (~2605fps), but produces really small groups (10shots in .6 moa @ 200yds). I'm considering moving from the...
So just an update on this topic.
I got selected to qualify for a CPW dispersal hunt in southern CO, so I put a pause on the troubleshooting with this ELD-X load and focused on developing a Non-Lead load (ended up using Barnes 168gr TTSX)
The Barnes load was sitting on top of 54gr of H4350 in...
I haven’t messed with monometals in 6.5mm but have experience with them in a 30-06. Have an xbolt speed and found that the factory 180cx (Hornady outfitter) was absolute 💩, shot like 3moa. Loaded up some 165gr CX in Lapua Brass with 54.7gr of H4350 or 55gr Staball and found that after several...
