As a spin-off of this thread, https://www.ar-15.co/threads/87717-W...ing-room-today I thought a "What did you do at the range today" might be cool. After all this is a site about firearms and we are shooters right?
I went to the range with a Revolver and a Bolt Gun, a Smith and Wesson 929 and an Accuracy International PSR. I shot a little bit of revo, maybe 150-200 rounds and then headed over to the rifle range.
I just got a new Bartlien 8 twist barrel in 6CM for it. I got lucky as my old pet load worked just fine. Then I yanked the barrel and swapped it over to 300 Win Mag (4-5 minutes tops to change calibers) for some load development. The first load I tried, 70.0 gns of H-1000 under a Berger 230 gn Hybrid put 5 rounds just under 3/8 at 100 yards. And Tim says this load development stuff is hard... Recoil was a lot less than I had thought it would be. Now to load up 20 more to see how they do at distance. Hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday. Might shoot the 300 this Sunday in Raton.
