Went out today with the WSSM to do a seating depth test to try to improve the 45.6 grain load, if it needed any.

I set out with 50 charged cases, my press, bullets, calipers and comparator. I already had 50 loaded up at the original OAL of development, so I thought I'd shoot them first to see if any changes needed to be made. I put up my homemade "shoot 'n see" targets on a stand in the F-class bay and raised it up for the test. There was quite a bit of wind today from right to left, so I dialed 2.5 MOA into the scope so I could hold right on my dot every time. I did the shooting at 600 yards.

I shot 2 shots and was impacting right so I took off 1.5 MOA and fired 3 shots.

Holy SCHITT! Got lucky with the conditions.

I let the barrel cool while I shot my .300 WM at the same range only to see the load needed some work. After the barrel cooled on the WSSM, I took out all of the wind correction on the scope and fired a 5 shot group in some variable 10 mph crosswinds.

Hey Tanner! That's what NO VERTICAL looks like!

Tough to beat or improve a load developed by the AUDETTE METHOD.

I just started seating bullets into the charged cases at the same OAL and shot some more for fun. The 5" plates were easy at 430 and 550

Nice.

Now be honest. Did you rotate that 90 degrees?

LOL!

That's great velocity. How much 7828 are you cramming in there?

48gr, and that's not quite compressed. I love 7828.

I'm a bit perplexed as my drops from 485, 505, and 600 didn't "line up" very well....

But, all distances were shot in different conditions, so that may be the cause.

Had to "Revisit" the 243 WSSM today since I have 300 rounds loaded with the 105. smile. Needed to shoot a couple of groups anyway with the Creedmoor to see how it's doing after about 200 rounds without cleaning. It shot 5 into a 3/8" 3 hole group


Well, I think the WSSM could double as a lightweight long range rig for big game, coyotes, prairie dogs and an across the course competition target gun.


220 yard cold bore shot with scope set for 200 yard zero:

Nice shooting Rick! That thing is a hummer!

1234, most 700 243 tubes are 9.125" twist. You should be fine, but it'll be interesting to see what a 105 A-Max will do when pushed by a 6/06....

Thanks Tanner! It really is a hell of a good shooting factory rifle.

I wish I'd have tried the 105 when it was new. It probably has 2000 down the bore.
