95 TMK in 6 CM

[kkp005]

Shot my 16” 7twist PBB tikka today. Just used the same loads that shoot good in my APR.

shot a 1.5” 10 round group with 95gr tmks.
41.5 h4350 / 2.725” OAL / Lapua SR brass with cci 450s. Was getting about 2875 fps.

Also shot some 3 round groups with factory 108 ELDm and hand load 108 eldms and they were sub 1/2” groups

Not off to to a hot start with TMKS. Tried a full case of RE16. Going to try again with some h4350. 112MB were not a fan of 16 either. However, they were 2ish moa rather than 6.

yikes. H4350 with TMKs in my 243 is about 1.5” - 1:8 twist though. Makes me wonder if I even bother throwing my 18” PBB 1:7 on the rifle after the season

A pattern that bad would have me questioning if something was loose on the rifle/scope but you said the 112MB were ~2moa (same session)?

correct. Shot about 10 minutes apart. Did a ladder test for pressure this morning. This was rounds 20-30 down the tube. Mounted everything up last night. Degreased, loctite, torqued to spec with UM rings. Unless the suppressor came loose

Check your twist; or something came lose.

Crap dude. Are you sure that's not my target? I took my gun apart and retorqued and it's still running like a Turkey choke.

Did you check your lands? Excess jump is on my list until I rule it out when some new projectiles show up.

Twist is good. I’ll report back tomorrow. Hoping I don’t have @Nine Banger ’s luck

I'll see is there is a lot # on my bullets later.

You don't want my luck...
