Rifle in question

[Linked Image]

Before and after. Loads are 150gr FMJ (can't remember the bullet) behind 56gr of 4350, seated to the cannelure. They might be jumping .010" or 10" for all I know.

[Linked Image]

Fired about 30 rounds before trying for a group, had to stick the barrel in the snow for a minute or two, the mirage was getting to me.

3 shots on left, adjusted scope and fired 3 more

[Linked Image]

Cranked scope down to 4x(mirage was getting a bit silly again and I was to lazy to stick it in the snow) and fired the last 7 rounds I had off my hind legs at 100yards, threw one a tad high.

[Linked Image]


Think it will shoot, especially if I put just the slightest amount of effort into the reloads. Sending scope off for turrets next week.....

I'd be curious to know the real deal, on difference in case volume before/after. I've heard only 1.5gr, but hard to believe that. If you measure water capacity, before/after don't be shy about posting the results.

I'll give it a try, maybe.....grin
Running WW brass, they seem to have the best volume in 06.

Nope, it's a Glock 22

Thanks, I got off my ass too. Remeasured some fireformed WW, averaged 72.4gr this time. Must be lighter water, or I need to muck out my chamber...grin

Looks like a gain of about 2.6 gr.

I measured mine to overflow, and included the water dome above the mouth.
