Thread: Testing a conventional approach to load development

Another recent example.

Remington model 7 .243, factory stock except floated & pillar bedded in the plastic stock.

10 rounds 95gr targex with 2209 near book max. Random OAL something like 0.050" off the lands.



Better than it is reasonable to expect from this rifle. Speed good. SD a bit wide but it's mixed lot factory fed brass so youd expect that, and it's fine for the purpose - hunting inside 500 odd metres. Adjust to zero, out to 450m - plate centre, happy days. Sorted


Note for those worried about barrel heat and walking, these model 7 barrels are like a drinking straw, this is 10 rounds fired in a rapid string.
