...thanks for the test ....
first the bad news .... results not according to plan ...
but the good news :: 1) ... the bullets didn't go spinning off into orbit ...as have happened with some of my good ideas ...... 1.5 to 2 moa is well within my "" works well enough "" acceptance .... and especially if you never had a real wild flyer...... if you could shoot a 200 shot group into 2 moa you could win a lot of 200 shot group matches ...
and 2) ..we have a learning opportunity ... perfectly consistent and no-void bullets with perfectly seated gas checks are supposed to shoot under moa ( in a under-moa rifle ) ... it would seem .... so are they getting beat up before they leave the muzzle ?? .... are the harmonics of those loads aiming the barrel in different directions for every shot ?? .......
i might mention that my beloved 7mm ruger shot 120 mj bullets into 3/4 moa ... but perfect beautiful 163 gr. match mj bullets into 1.5 moa ... with many different load combinations ...still a mystery.. also my 222 would shoot hornady 50 gr sx into 1/2 moa but sierra 50 gr into 1.5 moa ... all " perfect " bullets .... so maybe some better bullets shoot bigger groups anyway ?? ...
thanks again for the interesting testing. ken
