So guys now that my AR is shooting 3/8" - 1/2" groups @ 100yds all day long..('cause I can now use a scope that long...thanks again Ian and the rest of my buddies).....I thought it would be a good time to follow through with another project I said I would do...
That being evaluating or comparing Unique and the new Universal...
Here's my goal..test for position senstivity by firing 5 rounds with the muzzle pointed up and 5 with the muzzle point down... PRIOR to firing that is....(ya I saw the wise guys picking up on that one)...
I'll then fire 5 rounds each in my normal bench rest position..
All rounds obviously will be chronied and recorded...Lo, High, SD, ES, Avg. etc.
I also plan on using components that most cast bullet shooters would use, CCI LR Primers, 50/50 lube and no BLL...
I plan on using my 1903 Rock Island as it has a pristine four groove barrel closely matching a commercial barrel..the other reason for using it is that it's a 30-06 ..a large case or the largest I have anyways..
The bullet will be a mid range bullet... weight wise ..the 311332 at 190 grs...they are from the same casting session and are weight sorted to .3 grs max spread..( I needed 30 bullets for the test so I used three different weights to get 30 bullets)
The powder charges will be 13.8 grs, all loads will be weighted...sub MOA (7/8" on average) with the 311332..so I know it's a good load to use...
There will be no accuracy testing...just looking for data...
Just to let you know one of the reasons I haven't done this is 'cause I couldn't find any new Universal, a friend of mine spotted some at our LGS so I'll shoot on up there and pick up a pound, BTW the Unique is new too..
So I posted this to get comments on my plans and to see if there was more interest in doing the experiment with a 45 Colt or 44 mag Revolver...
Please chime in guys and let me know what you would like to see happen....
Awaiting your suggestions...Dan
