30BR ACCURACY

[Bill Norris]

Got around to shooting my 30BR again today. This thing never quits. Definitely my best 5 shot group from this rifle and probably one of the best of a lifetime. Tried some 112 Barts again. Loaded 34.7 gr. of H-4198 with a 205M primer and backed off from a .324 to a .325 bushing @ .010 off the lands. Zack (WSMNUT) sure knows how to build a shooter.

EDIT: My loaded round neck dia. measures .3275

You have to love those 3 groove Lilja barrels

Great shooting wild Bill

I can assure you of one fact. If I drive it straight this thing will shoot.

That 1 shot looks like it had a bit of wobble to it. Had to go in sideways to get .377 outta a .308

LOL. I don't know how I tricked it into staying that small. I guess the rifle knows more about where it needs to go than me.

When you aim small.. ya know?? Funny what happens when you just close your eyes completely

Exactly.

In all seriousness, That’s an amazing group there Bill. Last time I got close to a .069 I pulled a muscle in my back.

Appreciate the good words Bro. I got pretty dang excited myself. Actually had to stop and calm down and wait a few minutes.

The icing on the cake is while I'm sitting here looking at this group Zack is sending me pics from his bore scope showing me a very nice looking chamber from my new and second 260AI that is being birthed tonight. LOL.

EDIT: By the way, the Bench 260 AI he is working on tonight is my sixth one from him and one other he built for one of my best friends.

Looks like even if you aren't straight it'll shoot.

Haha, for everyone else, this is what Brett’s talking about. Although it definitely wasn’t wobbling.

I'm anxious, and slightly buzzed.
Forgive my belligerent ramblings.

A blind squirrel get the nut once in a while..
Bill, were you afraid to keep going past the 3rd round
when you saw the group?
When it does happen to me, I say do I want to fire the 4th then the 5th?
I have 2 of Zacks barrel's ready for load development. Fun spring coming up...

I'm afraid of screwing up my group on the 2nd round, let alone a 3rd.
