Took the new stick out to day .
LOAD:
42 GRNS Benchmark
155 Berger VLD
Win Brass
210M primers
new brass , fl sized . chamfered in side of neck
Seated to 2.888 COL ( .005 shy of mag length )
AV VEL ( 14 rds ) 2794
SD 20.88
ES 71.16
100 yards , off the bench with bi-pod and sand bag .
70 rds by end of session down tube.
First was the center CCB shot . Gun was sighted in with M118 , so I expected it to shoot low . Windage was right on , I had a 1/2 to 3/4 wind from the right .
Top right is a 10 rd. group with 3 flyers that I believe were me , but I did not feel a bad break to call the shot . Recoil of the 155's is much less than other bullets , noticeably so .
I do believe I can do better , so can the load . I am IMPRESSED , with the FN line of rifles this is the second one I have fired and after the first one I shot , I had to have one of my own . Its topped with a USO ST-10 with EREK 1/4 MOA AND 20 moa base .
It was a cool 35 cloudy with a snow front moving in . A fun day at the rang till the Clown Posse showed up and started asking if they could use my crony to see how fast the factory rds were going , and telling me their Uncle Poop stain was a sniper in Nam an used a 270 ................while their inbred curtain climbers muzzle sweep the whole firing line .
