Thread: GS Custom

I did a ladder test the other week and ended up with a shotgun pattern
Then stuck my standard load through and it was the same

Found that the front bedding screw was almost falling out at home so that has been torqued and locktighted.
Weatherforcast for tuesday looks good for testing but that probably means both roading crews will be working hard out at work and I won't have anywhere safe to shoot!
Will have the GS and the Targex to test at the same time.

El B the BC's of the projectiles doesn't really have must affect for me when 300m is a long shot and 400m is once every couple of years if that.

Barefoot, what sort of range are you wanting to test fire over? Fawning is still happening up the back but if you only needed to shoot over one or two hundred meters then I am sure we could find somewhere suitable on my property on Tuesday evening.

Thats very generous Rushy but I should be good.
I have one spot left up my sleave at work I should be able to use and it's close to where I'm doing some fencing anyway.
We currently have 2 logging crews, a road lining crew, 2 different roading contractors on the place and the thinning crew just went home yesterday.
Some days its like there's more people up here than in town!

This was the ladder test I done in the 6.5 at 202m speeds ranged from 3745at min to a weeeeeee bit more:rolleyes:

7 shot ladder, an then a 3shot group at speed was happy with an it went .4 inch at same range so was job done.

Was able to get out and do the ladder test for both the gs custom and the targex today.
Now have to find time load up some real test batches, but the rifle seems to be favouring the heavier targex at this stage.

Down side for the day was my newer suppressor completely spat the dummy.
Not sure what caused it yet, need to find the large missing bit to figure it out.

Running my 85 and 95 targex thru the chrony shortly not at it and they are very accurate low drag hum along pils.havnt tried them on any deer yet but soon.

Hi fellas, yes think along the lines of the Berger hunting bullets, will penetrate & then do a lot of internal damage.
Cheers.

The 95 grn out of my 20" barrel are 3070fps using N550.
Have shot several deer with them from 25 to 275 yards and have been very happy. As Bryn says, penetrate and than break up.

I'm just hoping to get them to 2900fps, but is a 19" barrel.
Think I'll go resize some case for testing next week.

I think youl piss in
