98Z5V Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) This load is LEGIT. Damn. 40.6 grains of Accurate 2495, one of Accurate's "Camp Perry powders" - that's legit. CCI 200 primers in Nexus Match brass, Hornady 178gr ELD-X projectiles, 2.800 COL. Rocking 2530 fps. Works. Did the load development last weekend, shot for record today, and re-zero'd the scope. Here's my final scope adjustment and where I'm leaving it. Little over 1/2" 3-round group. I'm certain that I am the reason that 3rd one isn't touching the other two bugholes. I love this load, and I've certainly got a use for this 8lbs of 2495 powder that I have... I love a good day shooting. It beats a good day at work, every single time... The MK11 Mod 0 is gonna give @Matt.Cross a run for his money this year... Edited January 6, 2020 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 If I could just leave the 3C's alone, I'd be alot better. Caffeine (Coffee), Copenhagen, and Coors Light... Range Days just seem to bring them all out, together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 For the record, this barrel is not "bedded" with Loc-TIte 609 - I just installed it, tightened the barrel nut. Also, this brand new Aero M5 upper was NOT lapped - I just installed the barrel into it, tightened the barrel nut. That fancy shiit was not done to this upper, a few weeks ago when I bought/built it. So, is all that necessary?... I don't think it's "necessary" to do. Will it help? It won't hurt... but will it turn that last group into a sub 1/2" group for me?... Am I going to take it apart now, lap the upper, "bed" the receiver with 609 and find out? Hell no, I'm not - it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
