It was a good day shooting with great friends. So can’t wait for the first low mirage day.
Good job guys any day at the range is a great day.

Good shootin Ben, how about saving some of those small groups for the Groundhoog shoots.

Thanks Joe, I’m going to try
With a 103 Vapor trail 32.0 gives 2990 and 31.2 gives 2940. My barrel likes the 103's jammed 6 and 31.2.

28" barrel?
Pat, It's a 26.5". Started as a 28 and I rechambered to a 6BRA. 1-7.75 Brux.
I put over 300 thru it with H4895 and never had anything to brag about, Varget seems to shoot better for me.

My feels also. Not sure yet but I did about 600 rds with H4895. Pretty much gave up on the Krieger when I tried Varget on a whim. Pretty dramatic difference form initial testing. Hope to test again and learned a lesson.
That lesson is to stop beating and beating a "dead horse" and go with something else. This is the second barrel I have shot upwards of 500 rds. through before changing or quitting. Now, even if I do confirm that Varget is the answer, the barrel life has severely been lessened or is already over for best shooting.
It is hard to know just when to "pull the plug" on a barrel.

Hi Captain, lessened is a good way to describe a barrel that has been shot a lot testing loads or shooting small groups.

FYI...Tested 32.0 gr. of Varget yesterday with Bart's 105's. 2940 fps on a cool morning. Little vertical at 600 but the wind was brutal for getting a feel for the horizontal. Loading 45 of them to try in the IBS match tomorrow. Kind of surprised at such a low velocity with a 28" bbl. That's about the same as my 108 Bergers with 31.1 gr. of H4895. MUST use 450's as the 400's blank. BR4's do work but offer no change I can see.
It was in the 50's temperature wise yesterday. Not sure what affect that had on the velocities. You asked, I answered.

Thats funny I don't care who you are Yes I drink my fair share of coffee an budlight that calms my nerves that's not the gun I am shooting it was the closest place to set the cases to look at thanks for your response.Stan, good balancing job on the 2 rounds. Not a heavy coffee drinker I'd say.
Looks great Stan, excellent shooting sir.
