“The 22 Creedmoor Project”

[ACHILLES]

Along time ago I took my 6.5x47 & 338EdgeAI with 300gr bullets to a 2day steel match for the hell of it.
First shot of the day with the edge on a 1/2” 5” di plate at 280yds. Hit the plate but the legs on the target broke. The 7” squares from 300-450 yards hanging from chains would swing 360s until they wrapped all the way around the horizontal pipe when hit in the center or low.
I was definitely getting some looks from the 6br guys

Trued up at 1000 yards. Three low ones first, which that correction was from my data entered when I was shooting 41gr. and 3380fps.

It actually trued up basically perfect with my current speeds at 40gr. which are now 3300fps and using the factory G7 BC.

4-6 MPH left wind, holding an average of 4 MOA of wind.



Last 10 shots


The group the last 5 round mag produced.

Barrel now has approximately 290 rounds down it. 150 or so since last cleaning I think.

Decided to just throw the last 100 fired cases into a ziploc bag and hit em all with Hornady one-shot, size/de-prime and then toss all into the vibratory tumbler to clean off instead of hand wiping.

I definitely missed that tumbler. It only took me 10 minutes to get the media out of cases and flash holes. WAY less labor intensive than wiping every case. Definitely the way to go for larger batches.



I did trim and chamfer this whole batch on the Henderson trimmer.

No neck brushing?
