survivor .308 test results

[gendoc]

new shoot'n iron
after installing the new lam-camo boyd's stock, its test time!!!!!
going to be mid december before the forend arrives
@100yrds zero scope setting. rem 180gr cor-lokt's did pretty good, 1.5-2"
groups......... fed vital shok 165gr sucked!!!!!!, didnt even try to measure groups......
 BUT... WINNY 150GR-SP IS THE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!
.50-.75" groups.  after 35 rounds, with proper break-in procedures, still holding !!!!!!!!!!
this is gonna be a deadly addition, or should i say, addiction!!!!! to my collection of hunting toys.
now since i know what this can do, handloads are next.......
nosler bt's, imr4895, bl-C(2), rl-15 and a lot of R&D.
just got to make it a 1-shot machine.
the iron has proven its-self, now its my turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'LL BE SURE TO!!!!!!!
after experiancing the accuracy of my hornet, i wanted to try a larger bore rifle in this configuration.
i've allready got some 165gr nosler bt's and various pwds to start with.
i have enjoyed these guns more than my higher priced irons.
the most thing i like is the lack of barrel droop at high temps. the .308 bull don't even get warm!!!!
unlike my kimber, rem 700, or browning bar.
amazing that this shooter is so accurate with what it likes.
i'm very pleased with both my 1-shooters.

hey, slufoot....
handloaded nosler ballistic tip 165gr with 39gr imr-4895
5 shot group in 1" center @ 100yrds, no paper touching between holes
i think i'll live with that
others like 40gr and 40.5gr did not perform as good.

[Slufoot]

Thanks for the report gendoc.
I would be well pleased with that kind of accuracy!

GOOD SHOOTING!
