Please send me all the data, if you can find it. I will truly appreciate it.
Eh fellow shooter …about the fnar ….no I did not forget about the load info …but please bear with me …time is hard to find …with a father that has had a bunch of strokes ….dealing with a family business…..and a #### load of work to do …I’m even working on Saturday and Sunday to try to catch up
Keep in mind if you’re getting 1” or less on a 3 shot group …or better yet a 5 shot group ….keep doing what your doing ..cause that is freaking sweet for that rifle
Also if you want give me your. email and I’ll screen shot it and then you can see and analyze and take want you want from there ….and if memory serves me right I believe I used 7.62x51 brass …Ivi and lake city and I reduced the powder by 2 full grains and worked up from there..did this cause the brass was range pick ups and stupid cheap and I fully processed the brass…yes I have everything to do it…swager and annealer
I also remember using commercial 308 brass and again got a wack of different results..holy oh f&ck back down the rabbit hole again, then stopped and switched back to 7.62 x51 brass as I has more load data …and just retested to verify previous results
I personally think the 1/12 twist is bull#### for this rifle 1/10 or faster would be better …also the inconsistencies in the brass I think is another key problem…son of a biscuit as I would grab some brass that I prepped go shoot…and a day or two later grab out of the same bucket and Jesus h Christ group was #### …one flyer and 4 less that 3/4” like what the ffff!…also being a semi auto hmmm built in huge numbers the tolerances are possibly out …in mass production, like the scar ?16..17..and the 20 if I remember right fn made it sound like it was the greatest thing on earth …watched a number of videos on YouTube and other forms and when they talked about the rifle they weren’t that happy with it ..especially with accuracy they were getting 1.5 to 1.75 groups
Now go to a browning bar and it’s a whole different rifle I load for many and the accuracy I’ve gotten is 5/8’ to 3/4” group or 12 to 15 mm
From the 25-06 to the 338 win mag
The bar is made in Europe and assembled in Europe …European's pay attention to fine details better machinery and tool and die ..if you ever notice Swiss and German made rifles cost a #### ton of money..hammer forged chrome lined is very expensive but well worth it..Mauser rifles …H&K …B&T …Sauer
I think fn USA tried but did not meet there expectations…I believe it was some American in the industry that sweet talked a bunch of people or bribed some one to do this project …and lined his pockets with lots of money..mass production
Back to reloading …I vividly recall when shooting the fnar at lower velocity mild recoil and there was an accuracy node around the starting powder load ..in the middle range ..nothing to great….and another accuracy node at the higher end of the powder charge ..but at the cost of harder recoil …wearing out brass ..and destroying the rifle with hard recoil wearing out things ….so take it from there and consider a few things …as for me I’ve tried 155’s..found something that worked ..the 168’s the same ….and went to the 175’s sierra’s tmk’s and again found something that kinda worked
I bought this rifle to go and shoot at the military ranges ..his handle is tactical teacher ..on cgn ….he puts on these clinics petawawa…Borden base .. and go shoot the weekend away 100 meters to 600 to 1000 meters depending on the range ..go practice and sharpen my shooting skills…ya the gun will do it …but the bolt actions do it better ???they have better accuracy..but it’s still fun
Hope this helps …later Davide
Reach out with any questions…I’ll try to answer the best I can or help,out in some way if I can
