So 400y range was closed. So went to 300y range. The 153.5 s won out over the 156s(they may need a lil more tuning) the low node with 153s sped up from 2610 to 2630, barrels just crossed 200rd mark. High node also moved to just over 2700 and that's a lil warm with H4350. So loaded 38.8gr 4350 with 153.5s jumping 30k.
Took to my buddies this am, he has steel at 660 and 850. Rifle shot very well. Put 5 rounds on the 850y ipsc that were less than 0.15 mil group, so half moa or better. Es on 14 rounds was 11. G7 of 355 runs exact drop as the ab custom curve, both at 2630mv. For shits and gigs, I have a 4dof kestrel too, loaded that up, had to drop form factor from 1.00 to 0.97 for dope to match the AB and G7 drops. So Hornady had a lower ballistic coefficient than the bullets performance.
I don't trust or know the Zeiss S3 6-36 that well, so pulled it and put on my ZCO 527. Took to range this afternoon to foul the clean barrel and zero. Velocity on cold/clean was 2557, round 2 was 2627 and es on these 13 rounds was 15. Here's the paper results. She's a hammer!
Sent one to foul, 4 more. Make adjustment, shot 8 rounds for group avg, moved up and left a tenth and sent one more. Taking it to a match tomorrow. Hope to do well.
