Worn out!
 

Man what a day. I must have recovered about 5lbs of lead from my sand bucket, still have one more to empty out and clean! Shot the Accura ALL day today with an assortment of powders (APP) & Bullets.

I think this load will do....

the drill bit trick works! I took it out again to 100 yards with a new target on it. 150gr APP super stick, 245gr AT Powerbelt and the Winchester W209. Using the drill bit between each shot to clean out the fouling, I pulled this 3 shot group off this evening :!: This deff. made my day!



Who said APP and Powerbelts arent accurate? :happy0001:

I almost forgot to mention that this barrel already had 12 shots through it before i shot this group.

Good group Devil!!! But I'm afraid I must award you two demerits for failing to note the distance. How far?

100 yards are always! :P

Sorry `bout that - my mistake. :o

I have removed the demerits from your record, added a gold star for the excellent group, and awarded myself double demerits (two+two) for failing reading comprehension.

i'll see if i can do this with the 270 plat, 295 AT and the 338 Plat. I know the 270 Plat should come very close to this. Funny thing is, im not going to clean the rifle! Just shoot and see how she does.

That is some great shooting...especially at a hundred yards. tight tight group.

.403" center to center

Nice group, gota love them Powerbelts.

MD, your the MAN! I want to see you do that and post it on U-Tube, better yet on here..........and I dont want no excuses!LOL

That is some great shooting without a doubt... nice going.

Greart shooting MD. Keep up the good work.

Here's something to ponder. I noticed he is from Colorado, at what sea level elevation are you approximately? Here in MO I'm roughly at an elevation of 600 feet. Do you think the higher elevations have better groups or worse than those of us at or near sea level? Brains a churning, there may be no difference but I think it would affect it somehow. Not sure how to test other than having him shoot his gun at lower sea level elevations with same loads and distance to see. Cabin fever has got me bad on this one. Those are excellent groups!

im at 7,400 feet. Not sure if the thinner air helps or not. Going out now with some 245 and 295 powerbelts again. Beautiful 60* day :D

I was just curious, what is the "drill bit" method?

the drill bit is 7/64" and i use it to clean out the flash channel in the breech plug between shots. Primers leave carbon build up in that area and so i just clean that out after each shot so its consistent.
