What’s been your experience with the terminal performance characteristics of the match burners?
It’s violently effective. I don’t really have experience yet though, besides for two deer yesterday. Mine at 414 with the full pass though and football size exit and a 90 yard shot by my buddy. He hit high shoulder, through the upper scapula, spinous process and caught in offside hide. Softball sized wound cavity there as well.
Yeah I was impressed by both results. I was hoping I’d get two different samples from differing ranges and that’s exactly how it played out.
That's pretty good velocity. Is that just a faster barrel? Is that kind of velocity common with the match burners? I was thinking I was either going to have to go with a 24 inch barrel or jump up to a 243 AI to get near 3k. But maybe it can be done at 20 inches with the match burners?
It’s a PVA 7 Twist barrel with their PVA Standard Freebore. Alpha OCD Brass, Fed 210’s and H4350. I’m a bit over book (42.4) but no heavy bolt lift and only very slight pressure signs, though even factory Hornady ammo shows those as well.
What contour is that? Sufficiently lightweight enough or if you could change, would you do a different contour?
It’s the new .750 Taperless w/ flutes and threaded 5/8. Weighs 39 oz.
It’s what they call the 7 flutes.
