    Reverse Seated Steel Bullets with Overwatch and Amax

    These were shot with my Alexander Arms 24" Overwatch upper.
    I found a few posts on the internet where people claimed the same accuracy with reverse seating bullets.
    I thought it wold be worth a try with Wolf steel bullets.
    I loaded 10 with a reduced powder charge and shot them at the range today.

    First I shot 5 each standard Wolf steel ammo at the center and bottom left dot to warm up.
    About 2 to 2.5 MOAish. Not too bad from Wolf steel.

    I tried to feed the reverse seated rounds from a magazine but NOGO. I single fed them.
    I shot 5 reverse seated rounds at the top right dot. They impacted low and left near the center dot.
    Then I shot 5 more at the top left dot. They were low and left again, 3 off the target.
    About 5 MOAish. Not good.

    I also shot 20 rounds of factory 123 Amax which are numbered. The group shot just after the Wolf was much larger.
    I also practiced two of my constitutional rights as noted on the last target.
    About 1 MOAish.

    Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

      No, I don't. I never played with dolls. Seriously.

        Until either some one comes out with a .261 Grendel, or a way to put a second copper jacket on the wolf pills, they will never be accurate.

        All I know is once you remove the Eastern European air from inside, they shoot worse. There is no helping them.

          I saw the post where someone mentioned powdercoating to add a thousanth.
          It would probably be worth a try.
