6 PPC or 6 Dasher for 300 yard score?

Last month, I shot my Dasher (which is very accurate), but my PPC is more accurate up to 200 yards. It may be more accurate at 300, but I will have to shoot it in competition to determine that. We shoot the IBS target with a 1.5 inch 10-ring in our monthly matches. This morning I put my PPC barrel on my old BAT and loaded some 68 gr. Bart BT's with 29.3 gr. of N133. The wind was light and variable, so I guessed at my elevation adjustments from a 100 yd zero. I over adjusted and shot high for 2 sighters. Next I shot a 3-shot group that was a "hair" to the right, so I clicked one 1/8 MOA to the left and shot another 3-shot group. This group was a hair left but both groups were inside the 1.5 inch square. The first measured .526" c to c or ~.175 MOA; the second group measured .498" or ~ .166 MOA. If the wind is light on match day, I will definitely shoot the PPC. Good shooting....James6 PPC at 300 001.JPG
The second group is .166 MOA and NOT .133 MOA
 
James, first of all incredible group for 300 yard distance.
I also shoot varmint for score in Washington State, we shoot traditionally at 200 and 300 yards also. I'm always amazed how well 6 PPC shoot at 300 yards,
Some of our top shooters, consistently shoot their 6PPC and keep them in tune during the entire match
Incredibly impressive.

I shot my 6BR yesterday with Barts 68BTs and 29.5 grs LT32 at 300 yards ,,5 shot groups were in the .500-.625 range,,keeping those groups centered in a switching wind storm is much harder than shooting 1/2 inch groups though thats for sure,,
 
Think of having a 30cal barrel spun up for shooting score. One barrel will last a VERY LONG time and your brass will as well......Bigger hole in the paper to..;)
