Scirroco tumble? - 07/26/2004 2:20 AM
Went to the range yesterday to try yet again to get my new, bought it from PSTLNTR, barrel to shoot. It is a 15" full bull Bullberry Encore in 240 Weatherby. I really want to shoot something in the 85 - 90 grain weight. Tried Barnes X, Nosler Accubond and lastly Swift Scirroco. This barrel keyholes everyone of them with all types of powder charges. I mostly use Hogden powder from light to strong and from really slow to fast burn powders. I'm confussed! Anybody have any thoughts that may help? I know the 240 WBY is a rare bird, but the 243 caliber is not and maybe there's some collective wisdom to be tapped here. Help!!!
I've ordered some 100 grainers and even the Barnes Original at 115 grain, but it probably won't shoot them either, just got to try.
