Re: SHWW Group

just kidding man.

hey tomorrow I go on my yearly man trip 4 days of no wife and kiddies just hangin out in the woods. we shoot alot of 22 and hangun. this year I am bringing my shooting bench and my new 260 I am going to do my barrel break in,load development and chronographing.
The big thing is I am bringing a simple loading setup so I can load for ladder tests and max loads all on the fly without having to go back home first. wish me luck

Re: SHWW Group

Just got a few new hats from "Lids"...blank solid colored hats that are sized. Around $16 each and if we get 12 or more for an order they will embroider them for free.

Thinking about some SHWW hats? Maybe for the 1st Rd hit over 1000 yards UKD? We would order the hats based on each members hat size and then have qualifications to earn your hat. You would pay up front then would get the hat after you made the shot.

Might be a reason to buy a 338LM Rotor!!!

Re: SHWW Group

May 1st

1)dontstrokeme
2)Market Garden
3)hopps
4)mattj
5)Ryo

This will be at the range closer to Joyce with the 950 yard max shot.....but it does have a 25 yards for those needing to confirm 25 yards dope for the Steel Challange.


I have a sister coming into town on the 2nd and will not be able to make the shoot on the 2nd.....those that want to make a weekend of it should still be able to.

Let me know if we should expect anybody else.

Re: SHWW Group

Joe Don and I will be there on May 1rst as well.Please let me know if we are going to met at the usual parking lot and at what time.

Is this the place with the two nice range houses or is this another outdoor area? public or Private?

Re: SHWW Group

Well I shot the 260 this weekend. I think I have alot more reload work up to do but my initial findings gave me a 140 grain amax with 43 grains of rl 17 in a remington case at 2780 FPS. it grouped at about 3/4 to just at 1 moa. to be honest I was hoping for a little better, but the rifle is still just breaking in

Re: SHWW Group

I will make sure to go in to benchmark and delay them somehow.

Tribe
just wanted to know if anybody local was going out in case I had a chance to get out of the house.

by the way what the hell to you need a 25yd zero for? I thought the closest targets were 100yds at the match?
 
#1,881
Re: SHWW Group

I won't be able to hook up for anything cool... probably just Sat evening at the local range (plus tonight... and likely Friday night.... and.....)

How's 'T' and his sorry, no-internet-ass coming along?

You can just dial up for it. Run it through a ballistic calculator and see what number you get. From a 100 yard zero, I should be dialing up 1.6 mils for instance.

Re: SHWW Group

sweet rifle now all you have to do is work up a good load and verify the load out to 1200yards to match your drop chart. sounds like fun to me I just did it with my 284 that benchmark built for me. I pretty much guarentee success if you roll with 139gr scenars and H4350 with br2's. I have seen that combo work out of many different 260's.

Thanks.

I'm currently shooting 140 VLDs, but I had intended to pick up some 142 SMKs tomorrow for testing on Sunday. Also, RL-17 is my choice of powders, so your recipe is very relevant and timely for me!

This one was built by Benchmark Barrels. The match on the 15th is the Steel Challenge.

Re: SHWW Group

I am running Nosler. I just got back from testing for OCW at the local range. The first pressure signs I saw were at 43.9 grains of RL-17, but I'm seating my bullets to a OAL of 2.9xx (I'd have to go look to be exact.) I haven't chrono'd these yet, but the same setup at 24.4 grains gave me an average of 2714, so I should be significantly faster than that with the loads I tested today. I'm happy to report too that the 142 SMK seems to shoot very well no matter what you do to it.
