Got out shooting to test some hunting loads for the up and coming deer season. So here is my report all fast and furious like...
The Stick...
Home built set up with an 18in Liberty barrel and a WCI brake.
Rock River two stage trigger.
3x9x40 Bushnell HD Rainguard Scope
The Conditions...
Slight drizzle
no wind
about 62 degrees
typical crappy North Dakota conditions
I was testing various different loads with XBR 8208 adn these new bullets and what ended up winning was...
The Load...
Lapua Brass 2.253COAL 120GR Sierra SPT 28.6gr XBR8208 CCI 450SMR Primers
I even remembered my chrono and it averaged out at 2483FPS
I think that's all that matters.
I had 3 groups like this, but you should all get the point. Range was 107 yards verified by my leica rangefinder and my pace count.
