Creedmoor test this AM
Took the Creedmoor out this morning to try a different blem bullet, it's a 143 gr., that looks very similar to Hornady's 143 gr ELD. Which is a very good hunting bullet.
Here's the best of 4 loads tried.

Re: Creedmoor test this AM
Yes sir, here's the second best group.
I had knocked the rifle over first thang this morning so I was pretty sure it was messed up.
Shot real low and a little right, I adjusted afterwards.

Randy, have you used enough of that Accurate 4350 to form an opinion yet? I see it time to time.

Re: Creedmoor test this AM
Yes and it's showing some promise also, thought I had a pic. from earlier this year but can't find it at the moment.
But I believe it was with the lighter 129 gr SST, which is a badass hunting bullet.
A buddy of mine up in WI was culling does this past winter and was putting the smack down on them with it.
Several at 200+ yds.
Oh I better like it as I have 2+ lbs. of it.

Re: Creedmoor test this AM
Always good to know. I have a pound and a half of H4350 for my 30-06, so, I'm good. Kinda wondered about the A4350. When it cools down in the desert, that 30-06 and 30-30 need some exercise. .'06 is a Ruger No.1B. I'll send you a pic of it. Wish it was a wee bit lighter, but, it's accurate as the dickens, so, I forgive it.

Fine shooting there Randy. Looks like that bullet and powder combination work well. Life is good when you are burning powder.
