Some results from this evening

Post by MUP »

Took the 6.5 Creedmoor out today for some load testing. Brought the 153 gr ATips over Staball 6.5 powder. Found what I believe is a good powder charge last year but wanted to double check the jump testing. Looks like .020 is promising. (Center group)

I'd say you're onto something there. Tomorrow is my range day. Not sure it'll be anything other than playing with suppressed 22s of various configurations though. But hey, they need love too!

Speaking of 22s, I shot the CZ as well. I made a little barrel tuner and tried it out. I think it might have helped some. Each row across is 5 shots each of the same ammo. 3 sets of different ammo brands and they each did ok, but some better then others. I think the "tuner" helped tame the flyers I was getting.

50 yards.

That was the best so far up until that day, and it got better with that tuner I made for it looks like.
