6CM with the DAT 117s
This is a BAT action, Krieger barrel, 28â€, 7.5 twist the MV with the 117s is around 3050 fps.
This rifle shoots the DAT115s and the Sierra 107s very well at 1000 yards.
I shot the 117s today at our Tuesday palma practice.
The results were very bad. I have no idea why so many of the bullets appear to be unstable and very wind sensitive.
At 800 yards the score was 150-12X with two just staying in the 10 ring.
At 900 yards the score was 146-02X big round group with very little wind.
At 1000 yards the score was 140-03X elevation and wide shots all over.
We had one wind change where four of us fired at the same time, three shooting palma rifles with 155 grain bullets all had right side eights, I had a right side seven almost in the six ring. About 50 % of the shots at 1000 yards had elongated holes, some of which you could see the point was pointing towards 5 o’clock. They did sound supersonic at the target.
For a reference on the conditions, my wife,on the same relay) shooting a 6 Dasher with Sierra 107s shot 448-27X. The last time we both shot 6mms we both had 447’s wife had 31Xs to my 26Xs and I was shooting the 6CM with DAT 115s.
