Long Forgotten!

[CINDERS]

Had a Neilson 300 in .308 lanquishing in the safe for the last 4 years it was a full bore rifle so I had my gunny make a stock for it plonked my spare NF 8-32 on it and roughly zeroed it at 100m for when we eventually get back on our range that has been closed for the last 18 months.
First was way left out in space, 2nd ones were at 3:30 & 5:30 on target 3rd was at 10:00 then put a 5 shot group at .5 high at 11:30 pretty happy with that lot.
Load was Lapua case, Fed 210 Gold Match primer, Berger 155.5 VLD 5 thou jump and 45.6gns of AR 2208

Pretty respectable too...

This is going to tick you off Cinders.
Remington 700 SPS Tactical with a 20" 1 in 10 bull barrel. In the factory Hogue stock with a stock trigger.
Here's the kicker,,,Lake City range pick up brass. Trimmed and annealed only, no sorting, nothing... With a low to mid price range scope.
155g Hornady A-Max over IMR-4064
The load was the 2nd one I tried, so I found the sweet spot with only 10rds expended.
10rds shot at 100yds and I did call the flyer. I love this rifle...

Nice tidy group W.P its pretty good when you jag it when I was using Sierras in my 6.5 x 284 try as I may from jumps to jams primers powders 4 types 2209, RE 22 RE 19 VV N 165 just could not get it to work so I use 140 Bergers with 49gns RE 22 5 thou jump used 215M Feds primers but these created an event so went back to 210 Gold Match it shoots consistent 1/2 moa. My APRS built by the Lightforce crew I have not changed their load they gave me when I brought the rifle off them and it is another 1/2 moa. The rifles we have will all do their bit its just us that has to be on our mettle to get the best out of what they can give. Heres a pic of a 3 shotter I fired from my 6.5x285 at 107m (lasered) on a windy day off the back of my ute's tray on a bipod with no rear bag think I was lucky......the black patch is 19mm in dia

Usually tend to stay away from these "group size" threads as sometimes (on other forums) they can tend to get into the "my groups better than yours blah blah" and usually i cant shoot good enough to get a good group anyway But thought would put up group i fired few wks ago with my No4 7.62 conversion i've been working on for while - sportco heavy barrel, fitted with my long suffering cheapo Tasco varmint scope (used for testing work on all my various rifles when doing re-builds or load development) in a Armalon mount. 155 grn Dyer HBC, ADI cases, 2208 powder, CCI BR-2 primers - only 3 shot group though as wanted to stop while i was ahead

Tidy group BR, we have a couple of members in the club that carry on about groups and pronounce their rifles shoot like a jet?. Me I just compete against myself have got an issue with trigger control happening at present with a flyer though my eyes are not what they used to be bit like a few among us here. It is good fun but load development can take a fair while just changing one thing at a time, I used HBC's for a while in my full bore rifle but now we as a family all use Bergers though I have some 139 & 136Gn Lapua Scena's that I am saving for a rainy day comp when this 6.5 x 284 barrel has ghosted and the new ones screwed on.

I too have changed over to Berger's in my Fullbore rifle (currently in loading process for WA Queens starting on 22nd - 230 plus rounds) But still have quite number of the Dyers and by chance they seem to go well in the No4 conversion im working on - purchased for $450 - ex range rifle that had then become a used and abused sporter for some time, but came with 7.62 mag, cycles well and shoots well.
