I got out to the woods after work today. It was supposed to be just me and my 30-06, an evening of serious load testing.
But my plans changed. An old buddy whom I hadn’t seen in twelve years was in town, so I invited him along. My serious night of load development turned into more of a plinking session.
I did however do a little serious shooting, prone off sand bags at 50 yards.This week in the evenings I had loaded a ladder with the 312-155-2r over, 30gr to 40gr of the H4895.
312-155-2r, PC w/ GC, 30gr H4895, DEN 43, OAL 3.175”, Five Shot Group at 50 yards 2 3/8”
312-155-2r, PC w/ GC, 31gr H4895, DEN 43, OAL 3.175”, Five Shot Group at 50 yards 2 1/8”
312-155-2r, PC w/ GC, 32gr H4895, DEN 43, OAL 3.175”, Five Shot Group at 50 yards 2 1/4”
312-155-2r, PC w/ GC, 33gr H4895, DEN 43, OAL 3.175”, Five Shot Group #1 at 50 yards 1 1/4”
312-155-2r, PC w/ GC, 33gr H4895, DEN 43, OAL 3.175”, Five Shot Group #2 at 50 yards 1 1/8”
I was happy to see how the 33gr groups tightened up, and was repeatable. I have really no idea how fast these are going.
We ran out of light. That last group was fired at 8:45pm.
Next time that I get out I will be shooting the 34gr through 40gr loads.
