well guys my 6BR is getting tired,have @over 1,300 rounds on it. so i been working with it and trying to find a seating depth adujustment,powder tune to get it back to shooting.
I plan on shooting it in a group match next month. I know im going to have to load at the range and im a powder weigh -n- guy,down to the kernel. but i been playing with my harrels powder measure to find a reliable repetable operation, so i been adjust-n- and weigh-n- on a dig scale trying to find that.because its what im going to have to use at the match. so i loaded up 16 rounds at 54.5clicks.(i like saying that).and head to the range at 5:30PM. it just qiut raining and the sun was out,by the time i got to the range,4miles out the road,sun was gone,overcast and cool.very light drizzle. I got some UBR targets so i thought i will try shooting some of them and see if i can hit that 11 and at the same time check the tune on my rifle & shoot a group or two. so i shoot a sighter fouler round,(missed that 11). then i go to the target,shoot one,(ah missed that 11) so shot another(same hole)so might as well just shoot a group.so after 4 shots still had one hole and it looked so small in the scope,i decided to walk to the target and check it out.yep 4 shots in one hole and looked in the -0-so could not bring myself to shoot the 5th one.looks like a .078.
so i decide to shoot another 5 shot group and no matter how it looks im going to shoot 5.
so i did. then shot my last 5 and headed home.
Im thinking i still might have something for them boys.
so im going to give a match a go next month,and that powder throwing looks like it going
to work out.maybe.
