Todays range time

[ArtinNC]

Shot my Hall action 6BR today for the first time in a year . I was shooting 65gr BIB's with 30gr of Varget . Going to shoot in a local gun club match on 3/21/20 the bottom center target was shot with 31gr of Varget and 65 gr BIB bullets , I had four shots .076 group and a flyer for some reason I can't keep the 5th shot in the group . The temp was 68 degs and started to rain target was at 100yds , I'll get some more range time before the match. It is a shoot for score match.

If its always the 5th shot I dont think its the gun or the load. I would lean towards gun handling or nerves.

I see no vertical in your group but 3 shots low by more than a bullet on your target. Have someone watch you shoot see if your getting out of the gun to quick. Gotta have follow thru. Just an idea to try.

More powder around 32 or the same in XBR 8208.

Your right , . I would lean towards me and my nerves . Because it is always the last shot that is off. I'll have someone watch about the follow thru
Thanks for the comments .

With a load that light its going to be extremely wind sensitive. Youre shooting a typical load for a 105gr bullet. Get a bit faster powder and rework your load up to get it humming along

Good advice Dusty. My choice would be VV135. My 6 BR go to powder up to and including 90 gr bullets.

Another post that's current from DBLNUT shows his excellent results using RL10 with light bullets.

5th shot blues. Nerves and gun handling?

VV135 didn't seem to work in my gun .

Some guns don't like a good thing..........just joking. I have had several BRs they like it.I am sure there are just as many that don.t. That's part of the enjoyment, figuring out what combo works for your equipment.

My other gun shoots great with VV540 and 90 gr Berger's and it has a 1:8 twist . This gun I shot this target with has a 1:14 twist and VV130 or VV135 didn't shoot and this is the first target that I shot with Verget and you can see all I need is for me to do my part .

Art, my number one favorite powder if I could only have one........you got it, Varget. Wonder how it works in a PPC? Now that might cause me a problem.

Today I want back to the gun range . I didn't feel the best today and I 'm loaded with excuses for todays shoot . I have a match this Saturday . This time I shot a .160 group and it was 55 deg and rainy off and on again and had a sneeze shot . Shooting 65 gr BIB bullets and 32 grs of Verget this time and 2 grains more powder didn't seem to help . But here is my target .

 

[ArtinNC]

Seemed like when the barrel warmed up the bullets moved around some. But think I can chase the bullets around the X's For Saturday .
