Range Report 25-06
« on: August 20, 2005, 11:14:57 AM »
:D   After my struggles with my Ultra Hunter things have finally turned the corner. I was struggling today at first. shooting off a bi-pod and the frustration was rising. I took it off rested it on the sand bags got shooting straight and then shot 3 3 shot groups. First 3 3/4", next group3/4" and the best for last 3 in the same hole at 100 yards 3/8 of an inch. This using Federal Power Shok 117gr BTSP. I then hit the 500 yd steel target 4 of 5. Moved to the 225 yd small steel targets and went 6 for 6. I think a speed goat will have a rough time in September. I do know one thing for sure these little "cheap" single shot will flat drive tacks. I did the same thing with my fluted 223.

Excellent.
 I like to see these things clear up, and people get the enjoyment out of their rifle.

Just make sure the first shot from a clean, cold, barrel hits where you want it to, BEFORE you hunt with it.

My 223 Ultra will put the first shot from a clean barrel about 3" high.  Sooooo, I just run a brush through it with no solvent on it unless it is going to be put away for a long while.

Handi,
     I noticed right away this rifle like two shots through it before it's on target. I pop a couple of caps before my goat hunt and Mr. Speedy will be hang'n in the frezzer before noon.
                                               Thanks,
                                               Jess :D

Sounds Like you already gone through what Im dealing with right now. How did you finaly get the rifle to shoot so well? ( And congrats on that !!!
Darn fine shootin!) Thats exactly the kind of performance I am looking for out of my 25-06.  I ve become so frustrated, Im sending it back to the factory, to let them have a go.
