[QUOTE="buckfvr, post: 1229135, member: 43353"] [LEFT]Back to my .243 project that I did because I wanted a unique to me gun, as well as wanting to see if we could put together a rifle that shoots like the RPR and stays at the same price point. No problem staying at the same price for the basic gun. Of course price can go up and down like the tide with personal choices for barrels and stocks. So with that in mind, we stayed pretty close in price all finished off, ready to shoot. So to start with, I went right along with our data from the RPR and cut the chase, going right for the H4831sc, loading my bullets ( Berger 105 Match Hunting VLD ) at 8k off the lands. A brief test of charge weights to find the velocity node and I was settled in shooting, trying to get more rounds down the bore for a complete break in. I was mixing my short shooting sessions with my kitchen remodel, so for awhile shooting didnt get as much attention as normal. Then, seemed like there was always more than enough wind to influence my results to the point of me not being satisfied. Had I never shot Joes RPR, I would have been more than satisfied from the get go, but ..........and this is the odd part.........what I wasnt satisfied with was generally a pretty consistent 5 shot 1/2 moa group at 100 yards. As my round count went up to about 100 and I switched over to a Gempro scale, I saw my groups shrink a bit more. This is when I decided it was time to do my 200 yard zero. So.....final dial in at 200 yards is 5 shot .7 inch sub 1/2 moa group with 4 of those shots being .37 inch sub 1/4 moa. I like it. SO the other question as to whether or not we can engage a project gun that will shoot on par with the RPR.........I think yes. I wont say better or visa versa, but definitely on par. Two very different guns of the same caliber that shoot nearly identical loads very accurately. Yes, Im satisfied. R [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
