6PPC test drive

[AlNyhus]

This is a new-to-me 6PPC that I test drove this morning.....just an abbreviated test with three shot groups to get a sense of things. RFD LVS, Speedy/Six 'Millenia' stock, a new but unknown maker barrel with a .269 Shelley Davidson chamber. Things came around pretty quickly as this was the fifth load up the ladder. Brass was new unfired out-of-the-box Norma 6PPC. There's a little vertical in there so next time out I'll move the bullet around .003 at a time and see what shakes.

Good shootin' -Al

Good shooting Al.

 

[AlNyhus]

As the wave form shows, it tuned up predictably. -Al

Al. If this is a 6 PPC why the -.220

Al. If this is a 6 PPC why the -.220

.220 is the diameter the bullet made in this the paper. If you use the actual bullet diameter, the groups will measure smaller than they actually are.

 

[Mulligan]

When groups are measured with one of these (which I assume all clubs use????)
It has a 6mm circle to center the bullet hole, how does the , “my bullet only makes a ?? hole” factor in?

I really am asking a question because I don’t understand.

I’ve seen this on the forum a bunch, but in competition, does it matter?

I‘ll bet your bolt will work with 30br too.

I‘lol bet your bolt will work with 30br too.

Yes...it's a combo 445/.473 bolt face. -Al

Those dial out the error for you. But if you raw measure the single hole torn in a paper the .220 will be your average.

Hell of a good start AL, I think it will shoot!

 

[Jud96]

Great shooting! No turn brass?

 

[R.Morehouse]

Glad to see you got that gun Al. I was all set up to make it mine and the guy you got it from wouldn't take my payment because it was going to come through the mail.......Looks like it may work out well for you......Congrats.

Well Al you just transformed my mid .2's into high .2's

 

[ShtrRdy]

Looks like a potential winner.

What is the neck thickness on the Norma 6PPC brass?

 

[Murray Brook]

The batch I'm using measures .0108-.0112

 

[Larry Koch]

RFD actions are very impressive. Made 20 plus years ago, a better copy of the 700 R pistol action. Plus all the other stuff thats needed to make it all work.

Really nice rifle Al.You are off to a great start with that rig, can’t wait to see how she shoots when you really apply your skill set to this new acquisition.

If you don’t get that powder charge bumped up north of 30 you’ll struggle. That pooch load you are shooting will never work.

Yep. Just poured 'em out of the box, ran 'em over a .240 mandrel, chamfered necks, checked the flash hole diameters and shot 'em. The shoulder is .008 short of this chamber so they blow out beautifully. Neck dimensions over the pressure ring of the BIB .790" 65's is .2662.

Good shootin' -Al
