Fired 3 shots to foul in barrel first
Then ran 6 left over the Oehler 35P
The 1 grain less of powder made for over 20 Fps drop in MV!
Avg MV was 1375 Fps, High was 1381 Fps, Low was 1366 Fps, ES was 15 Fps and the SD was 5 Fps.
Got on the target too so that was good. Group size was 2.900 Tall by 3.200 wide in some very fast 9-15 mph winds at 10 to 11. I did not try to dope the wind just shot as it looked like it was going to Rain at any moment. Load is running just over 1.5 MOA so thatÂ’s a good start.
Fouling was Light used 6 deep blows on the MVA Tube for the session. After returning home I blew 6 deep blows and ran a dry patch down the barrel, did that again a second time, most of the fouling was removed with these 2 patches, after 2 wet patches the barrel was clean. I then put 2 patches soaked in Kroil down the barrel and it was clean.
