I shot even numbers for you today at my 871 yard spot. 8 above zero this morning. Anyone need 1,000 lapua 6br brass? Lol

Tom do you shoot those round robin or what is your shot sequence?

Low to high as groups today. I mix it up once I have "load A vs load B" scenario where I'll alternate between colors.

I'm betting I'm the most ignert person tracking this thread, but what are you looking for in shooting these tests? Least vertical??

In a "range" generally yes, but I look at the group horizontal/shape as well. Ideally 2 3 shot groups, form a nice 6 shot group. I also look at groups going out bottom and top/groups off the node and how much point of impact it moves.

Thanks for asking Tim. I am wondering the same thing, especially since Alpha 2 seemed to shoot out the top at 30 and what looked like the velocity node or close to it on the other loads.

Different flash hole sizes

Different flash hole sizes

Which is which?

They have tooling for 60 and 80, but testing to know whats best has just started.

From Tom's post (#122) the Alpha 1 has less vertical than 2
and the groups are overlapping more.

@tom nice work. Looks good start so far fo you

Yes I can clearly see that, my question is directed towards why?
If its the flash hole size than which one is Alpha2 .060 or .080 ?
Just curious

 

[RookieOMC]

I'm very curious also.

This is a great thread, thank you all.

The testing is far more thorough than just those 2 sizes. We are working with Alpha on this. They are supplying me brass, Im drilling and reaming the flash holes, Tom is testing. We'll end up on what ever is best. I did not expect the results we are seeing so far. Alpha will release all the data once its done, but so far I think this is going to result in one more step forward in the accuracy game.

Well Alex & Tom
I really appreciate the information. Thank you

So I guess now ill just put more wood on the fire and take a nap.
See ya at Deep Creek soon.
