Figured the Accura out today!

Finally sound the secret!

My first shot on a freshly oiled barrel was dead on at 100 yards. I swabbed clean and took #2 shot and knew if i didnt change something, i'd get the normal 2" group. I went ahead and ran a dry patch down the bore, didnt feel any crud so i ran one more dry patch down the bore and boom! Shot #2 and #3 were clipping!

I was shooting 260gr Noslers in the mmp-12 sabot ( short black?) They load firm on a squeaky clean bore but with the fouling in the bore, they load really nice. Also was using those dirty 777 primer.

6 clicks up to put her dead on?? Next outing will be with 300gr XTP's.

FG, have you tried 200 grain XTPs in blue MMPs?

No i havent. I shot the 200gr Lehighs with the short black mmp-12 sabot and 150gr RS. that showed really good promise.

how bad did that thump ya?

 

[frontier gander]

Not bad. Its only a 200gr bullet. You could shoot it all day without any pain at the end of the day.

Great shooting FG! Sounds like you got it figured out. 8)

You just might have found the magic formula Gander. I hope you have. But don't be too confident until you repeat it with more shooting.

My philosophy is a bad three-shot group is all you need to know that a load/bullet/technique is no good, but a good three-shot group is still a "maybe" until it's repeated another time or two. Now if you had a 5-shot group that looked like that I'd say you have a winner for sure.
