I shot it today...(9) break-in shots cleaning after each shot...then a three shot group (picture attached). Velocity averaged 3775 fps (right in the area I was looking for). I'm hoping this will be a long range PD and GS rifle beyond 700 yds. There was a thread a few weeks ago about barrel twist with the 55 gr Berger. "So far" it looks like the 10-twist Kreiger will work. I need to do more testing at longer ranges to see if these bullets stay stabilized at the longer ranges. It needs to warm up here though...pretty cool today LOL! 410gauge |
I used to have 2 RFD's. Be careful with pressures because the bolt faces are soft causing them to peen in making the firing pin stick.
Bob Dodd still owes me $150 bucks which he refused to pay back, speaking of paybacks, lol.
Keep us posted how the bullets are holding together in about 300 rounds.
Looks like a shooter, is the good news!
