Jackie Schmidt Rail Gun Project

[Milan]

I did some more testing on BIB 95 and I am still very happy with the results. Since my last week's shooting I was shooting the 95 BIB in high ones in 200 yard, but my bolt lift was little sticky. The load was 31.3 grn of Varget .015 jam and 3003 fps ES 6,CCI BR4. My new load is Varget 31.0 grn .015"jam in 28" barrel CCI BR4, 2982 FPS. I was shooting groups of 3 shots, were the first group was .122", the second group was .150", and the third group was one hole,.032" ES 3). But my fourth and fifth shots were not too good anymore because I was so excited that I can shoot a "Super group" that I messed up. :cry:

My AVG ES is 10 and SD 3-5. I strongly believe that my gun is able to shoot 200 yards at 1/8 MOA or better with the BIB 95 bullets. But it needs somebody with more benchrest experience, especially on longer distance, where reading of wind is really important.

Jackie, thank you for your effort that you put into the bullets' testing. Anytime you will like to test my gun, let me know, you are more than welcome to do so.

Milan,

Great looking rifle! Great looking groups too!
You might have mentioned this before but what freebore is your chamber? What neck diameter?

Hi
This is really interesting reading- a fair bit of it is going over my head- but i'm starting to learn a few things.

Can I please request that when all the BR/LR testing is done that the barrel is cut down to about 26 inches with a .269 neck,approx 65-73 FB) and the various Varmint projectiles commonly availiable are tested.
The ones in the 55-75 Weight range and maybe the 88 LD's and 87 V-max.
,70 TNT and varget for me )
Then the neck is opened up to .272 like this current test.

Would provide a very good varminting load map to add to the site.

I couldn't shoot BR if Jackie used his gun and pulled the trigger for me but I love going out and popping varmints.

Just asking if it would be possible???

Thanks

later

Big ask I know but if you don't ask ?????????
