Contra-Testing Free Floating

...and both of these bullets are high BC heavies and thus not ideal for small 100 yard groups.

.300 WSM with 230 Hybrids at 2865 fps, 100 yard 3-shot groups in a seating depth series. Nothing wrong with the way heavy bullets group at short range.

I found a nice old low pressure load of the discontinued 105 scenar moly bullets, with plans to come out to the range and one hole punch some Sharpie lines to prove my ugly stick works, and this happens on the fourth shot. Never had this before.

I imagine this is going to be hard to remove at home. Any suggestions.

I have two of these but have only seen them in .223 and .308.

Shove a new bronze brush into the neck, with a little extending past it, and pull.

Excellent, consistent groups. I have always wondered why the 230’s aren’t utilized more in LR.

The recoil is noticeably more for me.
