Hall action rechambered Broughton 1:9 twist , Not bad for a old barrel .

Good shooting no doubt.

Always liked Broughton barrels, my XP-100 In .284 has a Broughton barrel and its a shooter.
Bet that bullet from the 8 twist would tear up a crow or ‘chuck pretty good.
Nice shooting and a beautiful rifle.

The good news, you just gained a year !
(When I read your title, I thought I lost one)

Nicely done! Nothing quite like an accurate rifle to make you smile!

10/30/23 shooting think I have this gun about where I want it . 6mmBR , 31gr Varget , 65 Gr Dlablos bullets . Hall action and rechambered Broughtion barrel. Next time I'll try score shoot with one shot at each dot . Reason for two targets is different size target dots .

Isn’t your math incorrect on your measurements? I see you are deducting 0.224” instead of 0.243” because you are shooting a 6mm BR correct? If so your groups are actually smaller than your measurements

No , I measured a single hole in the target and it was .224 or .226 even with a 6mm bullet so I used the .224 to subtract from the 243 bullets . I think that is the right way to do it . A 6 mm ( .243) bullet will not punch a .243 hole in the paper .

So my .150 group is really .131 ?

I use an app on my phone called Ballistic X. It allows you to take a pick and input the impact points as an overlay on the picture. I will include an example.

@ArtinNC Niice. I will be doing similar excercise once I receive my 1:8 22" rifle in January. I never shot such lights bullets in 1:8. maybe I should give them a try. I plan to shoot 90gr bergers at 100m.

May I ask:
what is your barrel length?
What is your seating depth at the right upper target on your second pic?

The barrel is a 6BR , rechambered Broughton 1:9 with a no turn neck of .272 and legnth of 24" . And I'm into the rifling .005 or just touching . I was fire forming the brass that I full length sized for the rechamber barrel . And shooting 65 gr bullets at around 2940 fps
I first said it was a 1:8 but it is a 1:9 .
