5mm Rimfire
« on: April 26, 2009, 06:43:01 AM »
Well got to give the 5mm barrel that Larry sent me a true work out yesterday , to say that I'm impresses is an understatement , even with a 30 mph crosswind I was able to keep 50 rounds in a group of 6" @ 100 yards .

Now some may say thats not a very good group , but with the only ammo being Centurian and the wind as it was , that was very good for that little bullet moving at the speed it comes out of that barrel .

The only small problem was after about 25 rounds the cases were starting to stick in the chamber some , not bad , just had to give a slight twist to remove them , that is only due to the fact that the ammo is on the dirty side and not a chamber problem .

All this barrel needs is some better ammo and a better scope ( old Tasco 4 x 12 ) it could be a true shooter .

Again , Thank You Larry  ;)

 Stimpy What are you going to get next????? Is that barrel made up for H&R-NEF frame?
 Would like wind to slow down so I can get my P. dog guns sighted in for Hooker.

Its a rimfire barrel that he made up to fit on a CF frame , just like the Virsa-pac barrels with an offset bore .

You are right on about it being a little dirty it's not filthy like some stuff but dirty my 592 bolt starts to have feeding problems about 75 rounds into a sit session. 6" is pretty good in that wind. My gun shoots at just 1"+ with no wind and not much more can be done to get it any better. The price was on it's way down near $14 now it's back to $16 this last go around. Kurt

A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.
