Range results

[Zey]

Last night was a grim day for phone books. Just for fun, and for serious ballistics testing, but mostly for fun.

On a more interesting note, I've never shot a 1/2", 3 shot group at 200 yards before! Usually it's a crappy 3" group. I suppose for 45 seconds the stars aligned and I was wearing the right pair of underwear at that moment. Not that I change my underwear while at the range, but that is a good idea for a day I'm not grouping well..

Here's the exit wound. And I thought they wouldn't even make it past waterloo directory...

Cartridge was:
.223
V-max 55grn
26.0grn Win748

Nicely done Zey, Are you loading those to mag length or are you up towards the lands? I'm assuming thats your SPS Tac. with the 1-9"

 

[Zey]

Yes indeed 1 in 9". The SPS Tac. No, actually these rounds were standard length. They were loaded for me by a friend, I'm still on my way to reloading myself.

I'm tired today... was up at 12:45am last night cleaning the bore. lol. Can't put Mr. Bangbang to bed dirty.

[Zey]

Don't do that in the shower!! .......it's a waste of water.

Very nice!.... I can make one ragged hole @100 but @200 I haven't been able to get better than just under an inch. As for the other thing, I can manage.....

Any of those left to have chron'ied?

I wouldn't hold your breathe.... might be a while.

The book says I'm about 3150fps with that round.
