If I shot that last group with peep sights, I’d do a jig! Nicely done!

yes, the rear sight is the Swiss made Elite diopter and the front is the stock cg63 tunnel with a 2.4 ring.

I was using CCI large rifle, but only because it was handy at the time. I normally use federal primers for everything.

nice shooting. don't you think you might want to move the rear site left a few clicks? groups always seem to look a little tighter when centered on the bull lol

About the difference of velocities between the different bullets... I assume the ELDM was seated a hair deeper in the case because it's longer ? Along with having longer bearing surface, it generated more pressure, thus raising the velocity ?

Just a guess.

Maybe the ELDM shot better because the higher velocity was in tune with the barrel node ?

Something to think about.

Here’s a few pics of the rifle in question.





1978 marked, built on a 1914 receiver

I have it’s brother, with original sights. Maybe they’re just older, cheaper sights. I’m no expert. They’re not as nice as yours.
Nice looking rifle!
I like your door, too! Where in Texas? I just moved to Kerrville.
