Well I got my new lightweight 22" 300 WSM rifle finished up. I got the barrel broke in and loads roughly finalized but wanted to wait until the new Silencerco Scythe-TI suppressor came in before I finalized the loads. I got the suppressor in Friday and threw the 3 port anchor brake on it to reduce recoil and muzzle rise as much as possible. It only added .3 oz over the single port brake that came w it. Didn't get a chance to test during the day due to massive mirage. After we came back from dinner it was dark out and I decided to park the truck in front of the target and shine the lights on it. It was cool out, no mirage and zero wind. I wanted to test some seating depths. Finished seating depth testing when .041 off the lands shot back to back .1" groups at 100. 3 thou on either side the groups opened up to the upper .2s. Good window. During seating depth testing I had 19 shots over the chrono that had a SD of 3 fps and ES of like 15 fps. I decided to call it a night and wait til morning and verify at 890 yds. Well morning came and was calm but a decent amount of mirage already. I had my info plugged into the Kestrel. 215 berger at 2665 fps which was only 20 fps slower than where my 24" 300 wsm tuned with the 215 berger. Sent 3 shots down to 890 yds which ended up measuring 2.086"/.223 moa and had 1.25"/.134 moa vertical.
Rifle has the following components.
Defiance ANTIX long action w nitride
Manners Pro Hunter
Benchmark 22" 9.0 tw sendero light
Triggertech Diamond set at 1.5 lbs
Hawkins Precision hunter bottom metal and mag w spacer in it
Silencerco Scythe-TI suppressor
Nightforce 4-20 ATACR bedded into 6 screw NF rings
Rifle weighs 9 lbs 12 oz with the ATACR and suppressor. Balances perfect.
Im able to watch the vapor trail go to the target. Reticle hardly leaves the 890 yd target during recoil. Spotting hits is a breeze.
Ill have more of these instock in the not so distant future.
