In preparation for a new krieger 30" .236 bore 1-8 tw 1.250 barrel which will be chambered by K W precision in 6bra with a .272 no turn .130fb Ive begun prepping my lapua cases for firefoming
Sorted cases by base to shoulder and made all the same 1.124 trimmed to 1.556 and turned to .0125 neck wall thickness for loaded round of .268
Cases were then sorted by weight (if it matters) and batched into match lot , testing lot and fouling/break in lot.
My plan is to use 8208xbr @ 29gr with some left over 105bt jammed .010 from touch with .005 "neck tension" for fireforming all cases and then do load work up with Barts 103s with the 8208
This will be my 1st new barrel on a custom built rifle to be used for mid range f class and I want to get it right
Current barrel was shooting 1.5" 5 shot at 500m and I have seen some threads with targets @ 800 with similar size groups
Looking for suggestions and or guidance on achieving the upmost accuracy/precision from this new barrel, rifle is a borden brmxd action in a mcmillan kestros r bedded by alex stitman topped with a golden eagle and has got me into high master mid range
