R16 6x47 Worth a Look

[cmor]

Spent some time over the last couple days working with R16. I'm impressed. These are no turn necks out of a 30" barrel. Crazy speed with consistent groups.

5 - 5 shot groups at 500 yards and only the one with pressure signs was over 0.5 moa.

If the temperature consistency claims hold up, I'm in love!

Yeah, that's smokin. Makes my little 6BR almost jealous.
That 40.8 is worth validating.
What make barrel is that?
6 groove???

1in8 Bartlein, either 4 or 5R - I'll have to look.

I think I'm going to load 40.5 for a match and see how it goes.

You can add about 200fps to that with Reloder 26
It really is unbelievable, and that is from a straight .243 Win
There are threads here, the Hyde, Accurate Shooter, etc. about it.
Test results with RL26 and 105 in a 243 at 3400fps! update DTACS - 1 - SnipersHide.com Forums - Scout
