Range Report - 9/28

So I hit the range today with ideas of getting the XP on paper, breaking in the barrel, and getting her warmed up a bit. I had my 140 gr Berger VLD reloads with me, along with a box of factory Nosler 130 gr Accubonds that I had left over from my rifle break-in from 2 years ago. I figured I'd shoot the factories first to see what they'd do...

Bipod front, sandbag rear, 100 yards - first shot on paper, adjust scope, and send two more. Like what I see, so I tighten up a bit to see what she'll do.



Group measures .371" CTC! This is shots 4-6 out of this gun. Ever. So the I decide to try the Berger reloads to see what they'll do.



This one fell way behind at .380".

Needless to say, I can't be any happier with my Apache Custom - Steve builds them beautifully, and as you can see, they'll shoot too! (This is with ZERO load work up for this gun...brass was fireformed to my rifles chamber).

Tomorrow AM is the muzzleloader opener on my NC tracts, but I'm ready to fast forward to regular firearms season!
