    More testing tomorrow.

    I have some Hornady 73gr ELDs to test

    I'm going to be testing 77gr TMKs and 77gr SMKs, both with Federal Gold Medal Match primers and CCI BR4 primers

    Will be shooting to 200 and 300 yards as time and fatigue allows (had to cut up three trees and haul them off and my back is done)

    Rainier CS said my Avalanche CH should be here soon. I need to call and order a Rainier Ambi selector and a .800" adjustable gas block

    Have you tried the Speer 75g GD's? I am getting some crazy accuracy out of my new 18.5" from them. Even better than the MK262's and Eagle eye 69g.
    The best way to survive a violent encounter is to be the one inflicting the most violence.

    I haven't tried those. I'm open to it, if I ever see them on the shelf. The Hornady ELDs made me a believer. First five rounds @ 100yds

    I thought the exact same thing lol

    Got a similar group with 77gr TMKs also. I'll post my primer comparison after I get my kid in bed

    I was at the range with MCA today. My Geissele SSA-E which has functioned flawlessly for the 3 years I've had it went full tard and burned the remainder of a mag (6 rounds). I held the trigger to the rear to make use of the trigger reset function, which inadvertently caused the event to sustain itself. I Did not experience the malfunction again, after running several magazines through the rifle and intentionally pulling the trigger to the rear is hard as I could.

    I have since contacted Geissele and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a new trigger

    Damn that 5 rd string of eld’s looks very promising. I’m lurking lately but appreciate all the info, load specs I dig it.

    Curious, have you been cleaning the barrel after the other groups/pics. ?

    Was seeing if I had any group differences with different match primers. Not really besides pulling one round in the Federal Gold Medal Match primer group.

    This barrel flippin shoots!


    Mustang; I patched the barrel the first test day up there but decided to stop because I wanted to see if the precision kept up regardless of fouling once I settled on a powder charge


    I also dialed my scope in with a specific bullet and primer combo; I was shooting a variety of bullet weights, powders, etc
