Who says 300 RUM barrel life is short??? And man is cold out there!

Man was it cold out on the range today. It was a whopping +1 degree F. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] I hit the 500 round mark today and this baby still shoots good. Hopefully I will still get another 500-1000 shots before she goes completely useless. These are not the best groups this rifle has shot, but they arent bad esspecialy after it is supposedly 1/2+ shot out. The first group measured 1.301" and the second was 1.049". Both 3 shot groups at 300 yards, 178 AMAX infront of 95 and 100 grains of H-50BMG. Velocity for 100 grains is about 3200 FPS.

Scince there has been so much discussion about BC's lately I thought I would throw this one at you. The BC with this bullet in my barrel is 1.011 on the G1 curve. From a dead 300 yard zero (not what you see in the pics) it drops 6 MOA exactly at sea level in single digit temperature air at 3100 FPS!

I tried the 180 BARNES MRX today also. What a joke. This rifle has never shot any loads (including during load development) much over 1 MOA and these peices of crap shot a whopping 7"!! What the he!!? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Needless to say, I wont be shooting them again. They also cost over a buck apiece. OUCH!

Watching those hunting shows is a little like reading Playboy. Those big racks are out there but they're few and far between, easier to spot than to get one of your own, and if you do get one, it usually costs quite a bit to mount it.
