H&R Varmint question
- Thread starter Gibson
- Start date
You should get at least 1" groups at 100 yds. If not a ammo change would help. If you reload you can tweak your loads and components until you get what you want. Most any rifle off the rack should shoot 1-1/2" at 100yds.
H&R Heavy Barrel
I own the 2506 with the heavier barrel. I was wondering since were on the topic of accuracy in the H&R single shots, what other peeps are getting with their break actions? I've shot a few different bullets and can't seem to get a consistant load. I would like to settle with the 100 grn seirra's. Some where in the middle of the rest of the guns I own. I would also settle for a load that would put me around an inch at a hundred yards.
And before anyone says "ya gotta keep at it" or "each gun is different", I am trying to generalize. What are other people getting for accuracy with what kind of load?

100 grainers
I load 100 grn bullets in a Ruger#1 6mm. I know its not a break action but...
I use 40.5 grn of Imr 4895. I weigh out around 39.5grns in my powder measure then use a scale and powder trickler to get 40.5. It does take time but 3/4 to 1 inch groups pay off. I used to load for a Rossi break open in .223. I used the same method using Imr 4198 powder(22 grns) and 52 grn hp bullets. The accuracy was around the 1 to 1-1/4 inches. Neither gun was a heavy barrel.
