Still have it for now but my buddy is trying hard to get it from me. I’m really liking this PDC but I’ll see how much I like it after a match or two.

I’m just glad I got things all lined out and Custom Gun Coatings aka Shortbus does a heck of a job. He’s done 4 stocks for me so far.
Shooting indoors definitely helps eliminate variations in wind.Daaayyyyuuuummm!
Nicely done DrG.
CCI 17hmr 20 grain fmj Gamepoint rated 2375 fps
CZ 455 Barrel block Fuglie with Lilja 20 inch heavy barrel
Visual check showed variations in seating depth and angle.
Roll the cartridges on a flat surface and visible tip wobble.
Brass dimensions varied as well. Some chambered easily,
others required extra oomph to seat and close the bolt.
ES in excess of 200 fps.
Cartridge defects explain the spread on target.
2.5 inch spread for 50 shots at 100 yards

CZ 455 Fuglie, Lilja barrel
Visual inspection showed fewer irregularities compared to the gamepoints.
A few showed longer cartridge lengths that when checked showed less seating depth.
Minimal tip wobble when rolled on a flat surface. Better quality cartridges, better results.
Still that CCI ES, over 200 fps.
1-3/8 inch spread for 50 shots in a quartering headwind.

I stumbled upon an indoor 100 yard range in Vandalia Ohio. May have to give this challenge a try.

Did a quick run thru of 50 shot groups at 50 yds and 100 yds. Didn't hold off for wind shift, just held center and pulled the trigger. The wind was about 3 - 4 mph. The rifle is my home made version of a MKIII with home made breech block and tuner.
Edited to say the target squares are 1.75" and the bulls are 1" diameter.

Not easy to maintain sub moa outdoors at 100 yards.
Not even with RWS R50 is it lion?
Use wind flags and still those random puffs and minor cartridge defects
spin those trajectories off just enough to be annoying.
Hey lion, what's going on in bullseye 13?

There is definitely some great shooting here in this thread. The next time I get to the range I’ll have to give it a try even though the conditions are going to shit pretty fast here in Maine.
^^Great example of pre-building your excuse/hero storylines of the future!
(Totally fuckin with you. I’m not the poor bastard trying to shoot well in November. In Maine.)

Na, that's not an excuse , thats a explaination of why he does so well - he's 16 degrees south of me !
i mean it couldn't possibly be because he shoots well, could it ?
natdscott you nailed it... ha! I love a little trash talk, it reassures me that I am in the right group of people.
I really hope to get out and be able to give this a go this weekend.

A little snow never hurt.... I was doing some positional practice sunday in the snow.
Ive been watching this 1 moa for a box thing as soon as I seen it I figured its not possible but hey you never know.
P.s. Ill be waiting till spring to try lol.
I shoot with Hoser at the OTC in Colorado Springs. This is as close as I ever got to a perfect 600. Two stupid points off! I didn't (and still don't) know how to get the group size off the screen, but with the exception of two 9.9's, all 60 were in the 10 ring. Maybe Hose can estimate the group size.
The rifle is a 40X. IIRC, I was running the original 1963 barrel. TB 30P can. Ammo was Eley Edge. Scope was a 20X Super Sniper.
That's Hoser there on my right.

Federal AutoMatch 40 grain 22lr rated 1200 fps
CZ 455 Varmint, Lilja sporter barrel, Sinclair bipod, Mueller 8-32X44 target scope
Cartridges are visibly dinged up, crimps vary from loose to snug,
transition from nose to drive bands is uneven and the results are no surprise.
Strays spitting wide of the rest of the group due to minimal quality control.

Much more uniform in appearance than the Fed AM and Remmy TB
but still had a couple of strays show up. Probable cause is uneven seating.
Crimp to drive bands on a few cartridges showed a slight angle.

Eley Action 40 grain 22lr rated 1090 fps

That dropper had a different sound than the rest.
Soon as I heard it I knew it was going to fall out.
Instead of a clean pop, it pooted. So annoying.
Same wind conditions for all 4 brands sent this morning,
yet the Eley Action held a much tighter grouping due to fewer visible defects.
That weak round is a problem inherent to most rimfire cartridges.

You ain't the only one that has some less than stellar ammo in the stash, DrG.
I was checking inventory and ran across multiple partial boxes of bulk 22lr.
Leftovers from when the kids still lived at home and enjoyed range days.
Being easily entertained, I included them in this mornings samples.
I was surprised by the number of single boxes of different brands I had forgotten about.
Ought to keep me occupied for several months, 50 at a time at 100 yards.

I wouldn't mind having a vudoo too, HN.
Only problem is, I'd have to spend more money on better ammo
in order to take advantage of the difference in rifle quality.
Even a vudoo can't fix an ES of 178 fps.

^True, but it would give me a reason to buy better ammo.
I bought that ruger in stock form, used 31 years ago. It has been in the original birch stock, a Choate folding stock, then a Houge overmold with a new barrel, now bedded in the Boyds. Had a trigger job, multiple scopes. I've machined the bolt face, radiused the rear of the bolt, polished it to a mirror finish along with the firing pin, guide rod and installed the kidd trigger, buffer pin, mag release, and God knows what else. It finally runs like a sewing machine but alas it is still a Ruger. I have spent enough on it to buy a Vudoo. I consider it the cost of education. I'm hesitant to sour a Lapua in it. This proves I can blame it on ammo
I've used it as a trainer, shot in our local indoor 4 position, outdoor 50m offhand, and bechrest leagues.Next trials will be some Norma, Wolf, FGMM, and maybe Auto match and CCI SV just to see the results.

From an old brick that did quite well for inexpensive ammo.
Have 2-1/2 bricks of it left, for small game use mostly

That's quite a group....our LSG had boxes of that a couple of days ago @ $15 dollars a box along with TENEX @ $19. Probably gone by now, but if not I will definitely pick some up....

Inspection before chambering showed variations in overall length and seating depth,
a few showed tilted seating when rolled on a flat surface, tip wobble apparent.
ES in excess of 200 fps, typical of of my results with CCI 17 hmr production.
Those variations in cartridge assembly and mv spread, show up as outliers.
Good enough for varminting, but not what you want for benchrest competition.

That's CCI hunting ammo. Good enough for center of critter out to about 75 yards.

It is a pro varmint stock in walnut. Unfortunately, the clear protective coat they put on it hides any beauty of the wood. I'll strip and refinish it someday. I have the original "orange" stock stored away safely. The 28.5" barrel really helps with using iron sights. Some other 100 yard 10...

Hey...why are there only 27 holes y'er asking?
Well, there's a good reason for that...
That's what's left of the magazine and mag well.
Case rupture/head separation blew out the bottom of the receiver.
Put an end to my morning of shooting while I picked up the pieces.
Bits of mag well and magazine all over the deck and bench.
Yes, the cartridge was fully seated.
Yes, the bolt was completely closed.
No, there was nothing on the bolt face to change the head space.
The head simply blew off either due to a weakness in the brass
or, as the chronograph history showed, an overcharged cartridge.
These cartridges are rated 2050 fps.
The chrony showed a high of 2406 fps, 350 fps higher than the rated mv.
That 1907 fps low, was the last shot fired, the case rupture.
Even with the loss of seal, it still exited the muzzle at almost the rated mv.
Daaaayyyyuuuuummmm!
That is the remains of the brass in the chamber
Pushed out the brass with a cleaning rod fed in from the muzzle
Trigger no longer functions, something is inside the bolt jamming the firing pin.
The head separated right at the rim flare
No bulge on the chambered brass, only the rim failed.
So much fun...CCI wants the remainder of the cartridges for analysis
and both parts of the ruptured case.
