It’s probably going to take a dedicated 6PPC or 30BR Shooter to decide to build a rifle around another cartridge.
I spent a lot of time this past year working with a 6BRA 1-12 combination shooting 80 grain bullets. While it shot pretty good, I could not get it to shoot at the same level as my 6PPC on a consistent basis.
Everybody needs to take a good look at their targets and see just what went right and what went wrong. On my group targets, I was two bullets from being in the top 5 in Group. One was a four in about a .500 killed with one hanging out to make a 1.200. The other was a nice .450 with one landing out to make it a .1.008.
That is just me missing the condition. The Rifle was plenty capable.
I am sure there are many Shooters who could say exactly the same thing.
In the Score portion, I have at least 5 nines that were within .020 of cutting the ten ring. One of my Score targets where I missed two shots would have made about a .700 group if the targets were laid on each other.
On my 50 3X target, I saw a favorable condition and circled that target in about 30 seconds. My Rifle was plenty capable, it needed me to do my part.
So what I need to do is shoot better for all 50 record shots. The brutal truth is at my age, I am running out of time
Hopefully I have a couple more in me to finally live up to the capability of the Combination sitting in the Bags.
