 Just got my reworked rifle back and shot in 92 degree temps today. The firelapped barrel would take heavier loads than my stock(control) 10ML did and the work by an excellent gunsmith did improve accuracy. I'm not sure we learn all that much shooting in this temp that would be all that helpful for hunting - at least where I live and hunt. I still use duplex w/o apology and used no subbases today with 250Shockwaves/new short MMP sabot.VV-110,10g and VV-120 50g,Cabella's fiber wad/bore butter, gave 2435'/sec and 0.8" 3-shot gp average(2 3-shot gps each .8" with 15min between shots). Factory original gun 2420'/sec and 1.4" gp average. I have 1-hole vent liners and Win primers. 200Shockwaves with MMP bore button glued shot 2680'/sec avg and 1.2" gps(.5" if only counted 1st 2 shots each 3 shot gp). VV-110 10g/120-60g. Same everything except H-322 considerably slower(2250) and a little less accurate. At 92 degrees with the gun in the shade, even after 15min the barrel is still warm. If this is any help to you fine.

Dave'
Yes, always do. I think that in hot temps that the Wonder Wad may be better as the bore butter may give inconsistent barrel friction. Thanks, the accuritized rifle is more accurate. I used 4 wind flags and my bench rest rests etc. Wind wasn't bad at all.

Yes. Glued them yesterday as per RB(at least a day before). Used contact cement. Still have appx 80 falcon's sub bases for the 200 that I'll try.

200Shockwaves with MMP bore button glued shot 2680'/sec avg and 1.2" gps(.5" if only counted 1st 2 shots each 3 shot gp). VV-110 10g/120-60g. Same everything except H-322 considerably slower(2250) and a little less accurate. . SW, I just posted a picture of a target shot with the 200 Grain SSS/Shockwave in your post about vent liners. I couldn't agree more with the report that the third shot always (see the picture) is the least accurate. This bullet may be as accurate as any I've shot from the 10-ML with the two most important shots. As for H322 it is a tad slow for the 200 grain bullet but it will work fine if you adjust the booster up a bit to get the bullet speed about the same. That will probably improve its' accuracy as well. |
