What did you do at the range today?

[Q_Sertorius]

The Federal Blue Box load shot about like I expected. 2650 FPS, SD of 16.

The Norma 140-grain loads were decent too. 2572 FPS, SD of 22.5

The Nosler 140-grain Ballustic tips looked like the load until shot #4 (marked as 10 below) blew up the group. 2644 FPS, SD of 26.6. Shot #4 was approximately 53 FPS faster than the average for the rest of this group.

I wanted to see if that “flyer” was on me, so I shot the rest of the box. 2656 FPS, SD of 17.6.

The wind was fierce and ripped the 143-grain ELDX target off the backer before I could go downrange. But it wasn’t spectacular.

The 147-grain ELDM target wasn’t worth recording. Neither of my 6.5 CMs has shot that load worth anything.

Went out to sight in my 7x57 Husqvarna after adding three new variables to the system: switched out a credo 3-9 for a SWFA 3-9, changed the Omega 300 for an OG, and a batch of 150 eldx handloads since the prior load of 120 TTSX never did better than 2 MOA on the best days. All credit to rokslide for this. The scope and suppressor were bought used here for good prices, and the handloads were put together using Form's painless load development method. Life gets easier when you keep things simple.

Did some load development for my 6mm arc with Varget, lever, some 108 ELDMs, 105 hybrids, alpha brass, and CCI 450s. Loads ranging from 2587 fps through 2815 fps. Found some winners for sure.

Had the mounting screws shear on my pic rail today and caught an NXS with my face.
Also found a pretty good group for my daughter's 243.

How are you going to fix that?

Have a smith remove the broken screws and then go ahead and upgrade to #8 screws
