50gr shootout Badlands vs Cutting edge

[Geno C]

I’ll be getting off the road from my summer job next week and just received the 50gr from Cutting edge to test up agains the Badlands. I have already shot the Badlands over the AB radar and have a lot of data on it. This will be the first time trying the CE version.

Presumably to readers who are interested after the original post.

I forgot to update this. Yes, I did shoot them back to back. Same load, same brass, same everything. The cutting edge shot faster at lower pressure. Not fast enough to overcome the higher BC of the badlands past 100 yards though. This load was chosen strictly because it was the max safe load for the badlands in this setup

Thanks

You have to call them. Their site is terrible

This particular load was 4.20gr of Pro Reach

Any targets to show?

 

[Geno C]

Not from that day. I generally don’t post targets. It’s the internet, people can say they’re from any distance they want.

I would believe you.

What kind of groups did you get and what platform?

 

[Geno C]

Best I’ve gotten so far has been about .75 moa at 100. Been a few 2” groups at 200 and my best is 8.5” at 700

If the best five shot group thus far is about .75 MOA, what variation in group size is there at 100?
