Thread: Barrel Accuracy Nodes - How wide are yours ?

I re-read all the replies, did a bit more reading elsewhere, shot another ladder with the brake off ( a T2 incidentally, not T3, my typo earlier) and decided that the movement in POI was still too much and gave a fix some serious consideration. I had the barrel re-headspaced, discarded all my Remington brass, then fireformed a new batch from Norma. The ladder with the new improved brass ( 62gr through to 67gr of Reloader- 25 ) was recorded at 200 metres and covered half the spread observed with the old brass; 1moa wide, 2.5moa of vertical.

The excessive spread previously was due to the tired brass.

So that's interesting, and a +1 for the general rule of engaging the grey matter to assess the available data before wasting a whole lot more consumables at the range. I still need to select a node to work with.

As an aside, the groups with the brake off were twice the size as with it fitted, and just confirms the detrimental effect recoil can have on accuracy when shooting with very average ability - even with mid-calibres. Greg's design gets a big thumbs up from me, one of the better investments in gear I've made...$400 (inc. fitting) to halve average group size, so highly recommended.
