So... I have a 6.5G. Criterion 22"Hbar and CMC 2.5lbs trigger. Everything else is pretty AR standard. Shooting off a bipod and rabbit ear protektor rear bag off a bench.
I'm trying to keep my loads as consistent as possible, powder charge, neck tension, seating depth etc. Using Hornady brass, H-335 powder and 120 grain ELD-M. First time I took it out, I had them loaded to the jamb point, groups were
.247., 875., .454, 1.241 1.35 etc. Pretty much all over the place.
took the gun home refusing to assume it was me. Found a really bad carbon ring with my bore scope. Cleaned it. Loaded some rounds .01 and .02 off the lands. Took a week off and just dry fired/worked on fundamentals, until I was confident. Went to the range today and I felt all the shots felt good and below are my groups.
Questions: is this me and my fundamentals?
is H335 better with bullets in the 80-100 grain range? Any suggestions on how I can make this load more accurate?
anything anyone can tell me by looking at these groups, other than how horrible they are? The 3 groups that are more consistent are the ones loaded .01 off the lands.
thanks fellas
