Project finished 7mm08 - 06/07/14 09:12 PM
Well completed latest project.
Savage, re-barreled with Criterion, 26", stainless, 1 in 9" twist, varmint contour, Choate Varmint stock, EGW base, SWFA scope mounts, Falcon Menace - 4 x 14 x 44 - FFP - MOA/MOA - Total Elevation Adj. Range 90 MOA
Did barrel break in last week.
Worked up loads, went to the range today.
Nosler 140 grain Ballastic Hunting Tip, seated .020 from ring lands, IMR 4064 started at 39.3 grains and went to 42.9 grains increasing 3 grains each time. Each test load had three rounds.
Hard to find a load that it did not like. Out of 16 different loads 13 were sub-moa. There were a couple of loads that had 2 out of three in the same hole. If I had to pick, here are three that were most consistent.
Here are three that it really liked.
