D.R.D. Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 A 600 yard comparison would still be great, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Well it seems there are no 1K ranges around me , so finding what these rifles will do at that range is not going to happen, unless I come across something & that's got me thinking about my bullet selection . If I'm not shooting past 600yards( longest in my area , an hour or two away ) , why even work up any more loadings with a 175 gr. bullet . I'm going to continue with 168 gr. bullets if for any reason then I have already got load & target data for this bullet in both rifles & they have much better groupings @ 200 yards . Granted , I have not settled on a good load for the 175's yet & will take some new loads with IMR 4895 , which the Nosler data of 39.5 gr charge reads are the most accurate , we will see . I will be doing some Chrono data this weekend . Damn ! That is the problem here is finding long distance ranges. I am working up a hundred of each, 175 and 168 SMK's to see which my rifles like better. As they are two different barrel twists who knows until I do it.

survivalshop Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thats what I have been doing , but with the same twist rate & different lengths. I have set up for both rifles & some just for a particular barrel length. I never load up too many when developing a load , pulled too many bullets when the load was not up to what I was looking for or in some cases , a little too hot . This is the next batch , different weight brass , different charges & different weight bullets ( 168 gr. & 175 gr. ) all ready for the Chrono .
