Maybe i missed it, what was the final 'walk out the door' price tag?

 

[TBell]

Three things:

what is your over all length on the cartridge?

How far off the lands?

Will the rem. 700 timmey trigger fit this action?

Currently 3.003" BTO.

If I recall .005".

I believe so.

600 Yards, 11 MOA, .5L, 2 mph wind, 48 degrees, 28.32 BARO, 43% R.H.

I have 303 rounds fired. Work and the Covid have me busy. I have been shooting here and there, nothing crazy. Last time I shot at 1000, I wasn't very happy with the end result. My 600 yard group was ok, but not at 1000. Going to recheck a few things. Loaded 3 rounds of each and see what kind of ES/SD I can get and go from there.

.005
.010
.015
.020

<87 days until I leave for Wyoming. I hate to shoot when it's this hot out, but will have to watch the forecast for some decent days!

 

[MTtimberline]

Very Nice!

 

[C.O. Shooter]

.015 shot the best, however, .020 had the best ES/SD (I believe I pulled shot #2). I will shoot both again, but at 600 yards.

Conditions before and after.

Each group was fired 15 minutes apart and 2 minutes between each shot.

It depressing me just reading it.

 

[C.O. Shooter]

.015 @ 600 yards. 40 degrees/28.28

.015 shot considerably better than .020. I thought with .020 having better numbers, it would perform better.

Yes, I am a MOA high. I am missing a variable somewhere. My 100 yard target with this load I am 5/8" (.625) high. In my Kestrel, I have the zero height as 0.00. Used 2853 FPS as per the magneto (recorded @ 75 degrees). I need to tweak something here. Kestrel was calling for 10.7. I only needed 10. Need to rezero @ 100 yards.

Otherwise, I am happy with the load.

Nice group, now go and hit the bulleye

 

[C.O. Shooter]

Re-zeroed @100 yards. I'm hoping to shoot 1500 yards to calculate my muzzle velocity as per the Kestrel.
