Thread: Day at the range

Met up with @Beavis today to pick up my marlin model 60 .22 and did some reloading while I was there on Beavis's gear a big thanks for that mate, ended up using some hornady 130gr interlocks that beavis dug up for me will still be trying the prohunters at a later stage that you sent me munsey i just needed to be able to try from minimum to max load with the H4350 to get a better chance of finding that accuracy node. Everything was set up on a lee o frame press with lee dies case stretch was compared between a loaded factory round and a fired case from the batch of factory ammo to find out what the headspacing was like and was only a 3 to 4 thou case stretch which indicated I had a fairly tight chamber in the remmy and we had the cases resized and shoulder bumped back 1 thou.

Started at 51.0 and finished at 54.0 grains of H4350 (AR2209) seemed all of my accuracy was between 51 and 51.5 everything started to open back up above that, These are for hunting only and maybe the odd gong shooting session for shit and giggles either way I am happy with what I achieved today, remington factory and federal fusion ammo shoot like shit in my rifle. Shame about the cold clean barrel flyer on the first lot of loads
