Thread: Barrel Accuracy Nodes - How wide are yours ?

Hi Puffin,
I stayed well away from that 2209 for the wsm. In a 270win it works well and with ok speed. I am using Ar2213sc behind the accubonds, but am working on a load with 150 VLD's. I ladder tested tham last Friday. Done with 2213sc and 2209 in Fed Brass. I'll find a pic (Running late but the lambs won't get shorn till I get there so now biggy).



So from my range book I can tell you;
Range 100 yards.
150 gn Berger VLD
FC brass
CCI 250 primer
OAL 2.800"

The above info is correct for both ladders. The below powder was the lower right hand 'group', aiming point was centre of target.
AR2213sc in weights 58.5,59,59.5,60,60.5,61,61.5,62 gn.

First hit was low, then into the group, until last two rounds pushed out to the right.


'Second ladder'

AR2209 powder in weights; 64,65,66,66.5,67,67.5,68 gn. This was aimed at the top left corner of the box, wind came up when I started shooting.

1st 1 5/8" low, 1 1/4" left
2nd 1/8" low, 1/8" right
3rd 1/4" low, 1/2" right
4th 3/4" low, 5/8" right
5th 1/4" low, 1 3/8" right
6th 5/8" low, 1 5/8" right
7th 1/4" low, 1 5/8" right

So with the 2213sc the 'node' is effectively 2 grains wide??

PS I haven't put the hit measurements in as its pretty self explanatory.
Also I was going to start a new thread but people are less likely going to mock my shooting if I hide it here
