[tclaunch]

Beautiful group by any standards. Great going.

What modifications did you make to your SEB? That is a gorgeous set up.

It has a new top from pma that takes the normal type bag

 

[Dos XX]

Wow! That is for the group and the awesome looking rifle. That pattern on the barrel is nice.

What stock is that?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Shurley bros SOD

Russell,

Have Dusty throw that on yours next time...I'd expect nothing less than my results with a barrel chambered by Dusty....I'm not sure exactly how many barrels Dusty has done for me now, but I've not yet had the single one that didn't shoot good, and several hummers barrels that were just lights out.

 

[Terry]

Well done!

Thanks for sharing.

 

[KWeigel]

So that's the spear of Destiny... Have to admit I like it!

Preaching to the choir. He just put one my Borden action .308 F/TR rifle. I haven't taken it out beyond 200 yet. This is 5 shots at 200 yds, prone off bipod. The one hanging down at 4 o'clock is likely on me.

I need to check out that stock.

Nice group Russell. Matt

Is there any definitive word on how the BC of the 183s compares with the 180 Bergers?
Also, do they prefer to be jumped or jammed from what you have seen so far?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

I think i heard mr litz ordered some for testing

 

[falconpilot]

Light jump...it's my understand the BC is .703

 

[Keith Glasscock]

Since they are factory pointed, it would reduce a lot of work for the customer. On the other hand, I'd like to see a side by side BC test with both unpointed and pointed 180 hybrids.

My testing, not very scientific compared to Bryan's, shows a strong increase in BC by pointing the hybrid.

Just started testing the 183's. 2.6" 5 shot groups at 600 yards, in 10-15 mph winds at 30 degree temps. 56.6 H4831 SC shows promise.

What caliber? Distance to lands?

 

[Terry]

.284 Shehane. .005 off.

 

[XTR]

Beautiful rifle Jim.

 

[KWeigel]

Any further update on these from anyone? Wanting to try them in a 9 twist but am reluctant. 1000 foot elevation and up to 85 degree temps in summer but mostly mid seventies to 80. New barrel is sitting here. Next time I will go a little faster twist.

 

[FURMAN]

How does velocity compare to the 180s?
