Been a while since I'd visited a range, anyway I the got the barrel real warm thru both sessions, all groups shot off a Bipod with the barrel channel insert removed so it was fully free floated.
Loved the consistency of the trigger, I will lighten next time. Fired 70 rounds of CCI and Hornady 17grs, every round feed flawlessly and extracted, cant fault the package for performance. Cheap Bushnell scope struggled under the indoor lighting and so did my eyes to be honest.
5 shot group sizes for the Hornday Vmax 17gr at 50m were 16mm, 11mm, 12mm, 11mm, 12.5mm and 9mm. Sighters and Group 1 (4 shots) werent counted
5 shot group sizes for the CCI VNT 17gr at 50m were 16mm, 10mm, 10mm, 19mm, 7mm and 18mm. I changed to a black dot on the bottom of the red circle on this target as an aiming point so dont confuse it with the bulllet holes, Bolt lift with the faster CCI was slightly stiffer.
Another range session at 100m is necessary to see what the potential is, but at this stage Im pretty happy.
When a guy is digging his own grave, you don’t fight him for the shovel.
Success leaves clues, Fools follow failure !
