6 PPC or 6 Dasher for 300 yard score?

[JDMock]

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....James
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..
