hello i have been on the forum for 5 years on and off, mainly getting info on my build and takieing in every ones opions on this style rifle, mainly negiving when you compair price per accurace, and i realize i could have saved time and money, how ever, i love hk's style and have always dreamed of this style rifle.
befor i get into what i would like to ask let me list my build components for every one
ptr91 receiver
trunion extension
douglas barrel with fluted chamber 1:11 twist 26" long threaded for muzzle brake .90 and not turned down to msg90 spec
stiffning rails
msg90 buttstock
msg90 lower
befor i start a pissing match with the bolt action guys, my number one goal was not to really shoot past 400 yard mainly cause i feel i personally wont be able to do that, i wanted somthing fun and awsome to shoot, i did the build my self and iam hoping to shoot at least on par with the semi auto 308 ar's
if i wanted to shoot better i would have went with an urbach build and used a factory hk barrel, but for what I want i think i selected the best parts and optics.
moving on, the trigger unit should be here with in a week or 2 tops, to test funcion i used a standered g3 trigger a year ago and every thing funtioned and the groups wernt that bad at 100 i was getting about 2" groups with 10 rounds and i loaded up a whole bunch of various rounds that i wanted to try when i got the money for the msg90 lower, so when it comes i will get a chance to start testing loads, i have loaded every thing from 210 down to 110 and various subsonic loads, now i dont really know where to start as far as picking loads for this rifle. so my first question here is
when deciding what to load where do i start ? do i just shoot a bunch of factory loads in various grains and which ever grain produces the best accuracy start making various loads for that grain ?
or do you reload depending on what your shooting goals are example, distance, target ie elk steel plates ect ect weather conditions ect ect i just have no idea where to start.
after deciding on the above the next is how does one proove their rifle, ok so i built this msg90 clone my self but how do i know i really did it all right, my guess it to shoot for accuracy and reliablity in all weather conditions
i have been watching untimate sniper serious on youtube, so i also compair my rifle to the various situations he describes
another question that i battle with is paint, do i paint the gun hk gloss black or a camo color, my goal is to have a field ready gun not a shelf display, and i see all the bolt guys prefer some sort of camo.
well in short my questions are
how do i start developing loads, how do i select which grain bullets to use and does every one have a standered do all reload are are their reloades for various "jobs"
should i camo or go gloss black ?
chime in with all your thoughs and opinions, but please refrain from, the " for the money you spent you could have got this or that" as i realize their are better builds out their, my total cost in this build was around 2000 + the time i have in building it
i did all the work my self even converted the factory plastic butt pad to a rubber one the rifle is still in the white so it is looking pretty rough sorry about that
