I finally got some desert island bullets I had some 275 star tips but I didn't have any 250s now, the other 250s that I have put in the gun the SST and the smackdown have shot excellent ,well under Moa this is the 250 black tip Fury 8 shots just about as quick as I can reload and shoot not letting the barrel really cool much in between shots ,they started roaming a little bit the first four or five were really good again the 22 twist is doing excellent with light bullets I don't know what more could be asked. This is 59 grains of IMR 4198 sticking with the same charge I don't know if I'm keeping count I'll have to go back and check records this is around the 11th or 12th pull it that is shooting less than Moa I'm not really sure if other people had these results a long time ago with the 50 cal Savage rifles 160 rounds into this gun it is amazingly forgiving with a lot of bullets but I am sticking to my charge 59 grains I did tweak a little bit the day I shot out at 300 I went to 59.3 that was with the 325 pitmans and it shot a half inch at 300 yards I think that was just a good day this doesn't look that good as some of the other groups but for just shooting quick as I can get loaded back to back eight shots in a row it's pretty impressive I know I pulled that bottom right one the other seven were pretty good there's a couple of those in the same hole hope to do a little 400 grain Fury and 400 grain Northern precision shooting maybe the next couple of days about the only bullet left I will shoot is a 275 Fury black tip I started with a 275 Fury star tip I will wrap up kind of the preliminary shooting study on this around 200 rounds and go ahead and jump to the 20 twist Barrel soon I will come back to this Barrel this Barrel has me excited and it has me very curious also I really like what I have found with the 59 grain load and multiple bullets I want to see that in two or three other barrels before I really get on my soapbox Arkansas air is good today!
