Went to the range
« on: January 01, 2005, 09:49:28 PM »
I went to the range today with my .243 uv.  I tried a couple different factory loads.  remington 80gr psp and remington 100gr corelocts.  I was surprised at the consistency that I got with the 100gr bullets.  I only had one box, but they shot very well.  I had one three shot group that I could cover with a dime.  The rest were between 1-2 inches.  I had my rifle sighted in with the 80grainers, because the first time out they shot MOA.  The 100gr seemed to out shoot them this time.  The best I got with the 80gr was a 1 inch group, most were 1.5-3 inches.  They also seemed to like a dirty barrel.  I think the next time out I may try some 90-95 grain loads and see if they will do well.  By the way it was 20 degrees when I went and the last time it was 35.  I am not sure if that made too much of a difference, but I also did the O-ring trick this time.  Sorry about the long post.

sounds like you have a good shooter on your hands.if you havnt done a trigger job on that frame yet you might give that some thought.with a lighter trigger your groups may get even smaller :wink:

Hats off to you. There is no way I could get that good of groups in that cold. I would be shaking to much. Ok Im a wuss but Im from Texas it only gets cold here for a week or two. It was in the 70's today.
