Got a good chance to shoot my tube gun today @ 600 yards
I put a new Bartlein Barrel on it chambered in 6BR. I had to do VERY little load develpment to find a good load. Infact all loads I tried would have shot a 200 out 200 possable @ 600 yards. The winner load is a classic 6BR load right from the pages of this web site.
30Gr Varget,105VLD Berger, Norma Brass, 2 thou Neck tension, .010 bullet into the lands, CCI 450 primers.
Ellisio B1 tube stock,single shot). Remington Action,trued). Dave Kiff fluted Coned Sako extractor bolt, GTR firing pin spring and shroud. Rifle Basix Trigger, Bartlein 1:8 twist 5R 30" heavy Palma. Iron sights,,Centra rear Right site front)
Weather was Very Dark and cloudy but Very little wind.
On the MR-1 600 yard target I squeeked out a 200-16X. This little case is a flippin Hammer at 600 yards!!! What a lot of fun to shoot.
Lynwood Harrel just sent me a Die in the mail so Im ready for the season. I can see why the euopeans shoot this case at the very demanding 300 meter target!!!
