I got my muzzy from Luke early July.
I got the scope mounted and the Spartan adapter installed in the stock. About that time I realized there wasn’t a dovetail cut in the barrel for a front sight.
I was going to send it back to Luke. But I figured I could drop it at a local smith on my way out of town on vacation. There was a delay in getting it cut but I was finally able to pick it up early August.
I read the directions, loaded it up with smokeless and sent a few shots down range. Worked up to the max and shot a 3 shot group @2798 FPS.
After that I loaded up some BH209 to test. 3 shot group @2550 FPS.
Both groups were shot with the 300 grain NSR bullet from Arrowhead @100 yards.
With both loads the primer modules are coming out clean. There is zero blow by. The bullets load easy like a power belt.
I shot it @415 yards, 515 yards, and 617 yards. First 3 shots beyond 100 yards.
After that I loaded it up with BH209 and zeroed the scope @200 yards. Then I shot @250 and 300 yards with my 200 yard zero. @250 yards the bullet dropped a little less than 3” and @300 yards it dropped 8.5”. After getting that data I called it quits since sweat was running into my eyes.
Depending on how well I can see with the peep once I get it installed, I should be able to hold dead on out to 250 yards.
Rifle details:
45 cal.
Kelbly custom action nitrided with a custom bolt face to hold the primer securely. It also has a custom bolt stop.
26” Brux barrel. Nitrided.
AG composites stock.
Triggertech trigger.
Arrowhead 3 port brake.
I opted to use the 3 piece ramrod so I could add the Spartan adapter.
I’m going to use a Lee Shaver front sight and an NECG rear peep where open sights are required. For states that allow scopes, and load development I’ve got an NXS 2.5-10x42 for it. (Load development was so easy I don’t think I can actually call it that)
