Shot the twins today..
moved away from the VVN 560 and tried H4831sc since the burn rate is nearly the same...

shot the same load in each rifle...

RIC,
it looks like the barrel won't shoot no matter what you do,you otta think about rebarreling.i'll give ya 25$ for that barrel if you're just gonna throw it away.

What kind of velocities are you getting with your load? I am just curious.

Ric it looks as if they are indeed identical twins. Chris built a fine pair of rifles!!

gotta be honest here... those are 4 shot groups.. the cold clean bore shot is somewhere in the mix... I was really hoping for the CCB shot to be outta the group because I thrive on frustraition!!!

Velocity, it was real overcast yesterday so I didn't have the chrony set -up. I plan to in the future and I will give another update...
I think the .284 cal ( especially the 160-175 class of bullets ) is largly over looked so I plan to really experiment with it. you see the 150's and 140's being used a bunch even the 168's now and again but no-one really has stretched the big 7's

the barels on the rifles are crap... I really enjoy using a dozen or so patches just to get out the initial powder fowling. THese things are so bad that I only need 2 or 3 and then after running a brush down them I only need another 2 or 3 to have it clean. It really sucks cause I was hoping to use the barrel cleaning regiment as part of my daily work out.. I have to talk to Chris about this...
The other thing is the way he built the rifles is actually quite boring and now I have no idea what I will do... I planned on being aggravated and frustraighted by spending unGodly amounts of money buying 6 or 7 types of powder and way more bullets than I would ever use to work up a load for these rifles.. and now after 2 attemps .. I am done...

OH well I guess I'll order somthing different... I suppose if I have a yard sale on Sat someone might take them off my hands...
