    Compressed vs non-compressed powder test

    Truth. Just think if I'd only used one pair of ten round groups and drew a conclusion. I'd say you're onto something with the statistical nonsense, but you're only a sample of one.

    Compressed vs non-compressed powder test

    I recently got a new barrel for a tikka action I had chambered in 223. The barrel shoots well, but when trying a new load that wasn’t compressed, I saw a bit larger SD/ES values than I was used to when using the same components in a different 223. This got me wondering if a compressed charge...

    Barrel break in, does it matter?

    Well. I don't put a ton of stock in my labradar's accuracy, but my compressed loads of varget seem to get smaller SD and ES values than my recent non-compressed loads in the new barrel. The extended throat on my new 223 barrel allows me to pack as much Varget in the case as I'm comfortable...

    Barrel break in, does it matter?

    I'm going to blast some more tomorrow- testing some minutia that will make your eyes roll. Curious to see if I find some extra speed after.

    Barrel break in, does it matter?

    Sweet, that's a lot of rounds. Rabbit trail: Have you seen barrels speed up compared to day one? I never kept the records to know on my limited samples.

    @Formidilosus It’s a race to see who blows up first.

    Barrel break in, does it matter?

    162 rounds down the tube. No cleaning, no break-in. This is just one group, but it’s the best yet. I’ve got two other ten round groups with the same primer and powder. None have exceeded 0.7”

    KRG Bravo Opinions

    Yes. I would forget about the mounting plate and just drill new mounting holes in the buttpad. Maybe you need the strength that metal spacer allows for heavy recoiling guns, but I doubt it.

    KRG Bravo Opinions

    I know it seems hokie, but simply slapping a vertical grip module on a T3 and raising the buttpad makes it extremely functional for its weight. Both of these mods are completely reversible and cost practically nothing to try.

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Agreed. This weekend, I mounted my 5-20 SWFA for the first time in a couple of years to test a new 223. Did zero and grouping at about 14-16 power and dropped it down to 8-12 for steel out to 630 yards for the same reasons. If the gun didn't weight 12 lbs, I would have been shooting at even...

    Barrel break in, does it matter?

    Brand new 20” Bartlein 223 1:7.7 twist. Ran a patch through it before firing. Went through 55 rounds today, 45 of which were what I already had loaded for other guns, to see what it does. No break in today and I’ll try and keep good records to share in the future.

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    What ranges/distance do you limit your shots to on live game? Do you use a rangefinder and ballistics calculator?

    Elk .243 or 25-06

    I prefer 9mm over .40/.45 cal. Faster splits and better accuracy during timed and structured shooting stages. The gun doesn’t shoot faster or more accurately. I do.

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    That's the whole point!
