BCL102 Range Review, SECOND RANGE TRIP POST 123!!!

not bad groups, nice to see honest groups. Has anyone tried 165 match king yet? I have always seemed to have good luck with them
Im out Sunday so I will have my range report that evening. Has anyone lubed their gun before firing?
I need to find a video on what to lube and service.
I also have 3 nosler PT 165 left over I will try. but at $65 cad a box im almost hoping they don't shoot well LOL!

I am going to be trying the 165 game king tomorrow, but not match king. I cleaned and lubed mine before shooting. You should always run a DI gun wet during break in. It increases reliability and allows parts to get along a little more nicely.

What range are you going to?

Camrose, I also have 200-300 Nosler custom (probably 70% of them) , Federal and hornady un cleaned used brass I've been saving
they are all yours if you want them, I have no time to reload lately and before I know it with this gun im sure ill have 200 brass in no time again.
 
Hey , it's hard enough to find a factory bolt gun,that can shoot factory ammo Sub MOA,let alone a semi.

I've had a few different brand name bolt guns,and I can remember only one shooting ,MOA with factory ammo.
Once I found the factory bullet it liked, reloading the same bullet ,is where it's at.

So ,save yourself some time and money,and stop looking for the magic (1/2 MOA) factory round. Just pick the best you got and build a round,off that.

Then you can truly tell ,ifs it's a sub MOA gun,or a cluster F#%k... ha ha

Well, I would foul it before hunting. Clean is not a normal state. That's just my opinion. In no way do I purport to be right.

Agreed, so much in that if hunting season is around the corner & you're okay with leaving a gun 'dirty' for a period of time... In my case, hunting season with rifles, starts the first Monday in November... So, sight in & then the next potential shot could be as late as 2 weeks after opening day, means a rifle that could go uncleaned as long as 2.5 months? Not the end of the world, but not like I'm sighting in today & hunting in a couple days...

Yea, I ususually just clean every 100-300 rounds and not worry too much. Clean bore vs not clean for a shot is more of an important thing for longer range applications as far as I am aware.

5 shots minimum for accuracy testing. The first two (?) are touching. Why bother with a third by your logic above. Lets just see some one shot "groups". Only hunting rifles with wimpy barrels need to shoot 3 round groups. This has got a big heavy barrel on it.

If the next three rounds are grouped together nicely 2" low and left and the next three grouped nice and tight 1.5" high and right, is it an accurate rifle/ammo combo?

I put 10 rounds in a 2" circle at 100 meters with my friends 102 last range outing.
He had a gad of less than consistent 168gr projo loads he was trying to burn through. It was a 102 with upgraded trigger and a 10 power scope.
That's 10 rounds in a 2" circle with bulk loaded handloads, on my mothers eyes. I don't actually own one and it didn't shoot cheap 7.62mm surplus well at all so I have no vested interest in exaggerating the abilities of the rifle. Plus I'm a slightly above average shot I would say. No sniper here.
Not sure on the exact recipe he used but I was more than impressed with those results. It's definitely capable of impressive feats. Consistency from rifle to rifle seems to be an issue from what I've seen on the forums. That and it does not like 7.62mm NATO much at all. At least his didn't.

Hunting with rifle starts Sept 15 with elk, and ends mid December with white tail. If you include bear it's earlier. I don't leave a dirty rifle, just a fouled barrel. Action and everything else stays cleaned and gets wiped every night. But I could always be wrong in what I do. I wouldn't want to insist I'm right.
 
It would be very much worth trying Hornady 155gr match ammunition in the 102. The performance of this ammunition is outstanding.
