Shoot it and call it good revolvers don't really need a break in. Most recommend breaking in semi autos with 200 rounds or so to make sure they function reliably.
Barrel brake in with riffles is about accuracy most people can't shoot a pistol accurately enough to see any difference.
If you read his book he cut his teeth backpack hunting in the eagle cap wilderness. Now days in not sure what percentage of his hunting is DIY but he is certainly qualified to talk about it.
By the way on the podcast he talked about that he is a government employee himself. (Local water...
I think they are good ambassadors for hunting. They may not have all the same opinions that I do but they bring lots of new people to hunting which in the long run will bring more advocates to our side.
Joe has only been hunting like five years so he doesent know as much as those of us that...
My tikka 270 shoots 130 ttsx with 54.5 grains of Ramshot Hunter in .75moa @2975
It shoots 110 ttsx with 59 grains of hunter .5moa @3200
I load them to 3.336 oal which is magazine length in the tikka.
I think poi shift is due to my inconsistent head placement between groups. Poi shift was 1/2" . Scope is cheap weaver kaspa that came with the gun. I changed the mount for a DNZ one pice. The gun seems to hold zero.
Yeah I'm not going to mess with this load anymore. That first group is the best group I have ever shot with any gun. Not bad for a riffle that cost $350 with the scope. I bought this gun as a backup and to use for practice.
Now I need to work up a practice load that doesent cost so much. I...
I have most of a pound of h4350 but I hate to use it if I don't have too because it's so hard to find and money is a little tight for buying in bulk right now. If i can't get the re16 to work Ramshot Hunter might be an option it works great in my 270 and I have three pounds.
I am using reloader 16 in 6.5 creedmore and it seems promising. I load Ramshot Hunter in my 270 hunting loads with 130 ttsx. Best accuracy I found was 54.5 grains and they go 2975 or so out of my tikka. I also load a "match" load for it with Sierra 135 match kings over 54 grns of H100V going...
Yeah im shooting off a bench with a lead sled type of rest as well as with a Caldwell tac driver bag.
It sure could be me. Mayby something to do with my head position eye relief was messing with me at the range last time. I added a strap on cheek piece so we will see if that helps. I can...
