Built this gun for PRS. Unfortunately,I don't have more than 100yds available to me at the moment. Other ranges are still closed in my area.
Went out with some virgin Lapua 6.5CM brass for a OCW test on Sunday. First time out with my new Impact and Stutesville barrel 26" M24 1-8 prefit, TT Diamond. This is my first time trying this method and wasn't sure what it would yield. I followed all of the instructions. I believe, I've read fire formed brass should get you better accuracy?
I used multiple targets rather than just one. Shot at the wrong target once. Made it a PIA with the Chrono. Old style Caldwell premium kit. Sold my Magnetospeed wish I still had it at that moment. I wasn't overly impressed with the results. Prob more me than anything. Top half velocity is from yesterday. Bottom is from today. Didn't see any pressure signs at 42.6.
Bottom middle are my RPR handloads.
I wondered if fire formed brass would get me better accuracy?
So, I decided to use the same brass again. See if it would make a difference. Went home processed the brass, got my measurments and loaded them back up the same and went out again today. Only used one target this time. I took my time behind the trigger and focused on the fundamentals. Think I got better results today on the target. I'm thinking that 41.7 would be a good charge weight to test a lil further?
Bottom right target is my handloads for my RPR. Decided to Chrono them to see what they would do.
This is today target
