Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots What is the accuracy

potential of the TCR Aristocrat that you have experienced? I have always liked the looks of them but, have never seen one up close and personal. I don't have any love for the Encore but, I have shot them and the .25'06 was about a 1" shooter while the .300 Bee ran about 1.5". Just curious.

I took my 308 Aristocrat to the range for the second time Saturday. No loading/stuck case issues this time with Winch factory ammo and a couple handloads in PPU brass. Most of my shooting was with 150 grain Winch factory ammo which grouped a little over 1.5 inches at 110 yards. The 180 grain Winch factory and 165 grain handloads shot 8 and 6 inches higher than the 150’s based on just a couple shots each. I’ll load up some 150 grain Hornady Interlocks in the Winch brass and see how it does.

63 gr. Sierra SMPs from .223 barrel at 200 yards. Previous group was just a bit tighter, but low-right; then adjusted to produce this one.

Used to be very interested in them, but now that the Henrys are really here, and just as nice as any TC I ever saw, I can't see dealing with the issues of a long-gone orphan. Guys who already have them are an obvious exception.
