At the range today to have some fun. Decided to zero for the cold weather.
16 inch White Oak 1/7 223 wylde chamber. 100 yards. Gun was 100+ rounds hot over thirty minutes.
A little shakey from the cold, but...
This is the gun:
77 grain Black Hills ammo The top target was three in less than ten seconds. (the flyer was from a different rifle, not this group) The bottom was two groups of five (as you can see I had to adjust the windage), each group of 5 was shot over a 30 second time span.
62 grain FMJBTHPThese were shot through the same gun with the zero set for the 77's. These are from Oak Tree Gun Club. They have some one do there reloads. This was four shots over a 10 to 12 second period. the flier in the top left i think was me. The round on the bottom was the last, but i had to stop short with this ammo, (I had a major problem with one round, but i would like to get more facts before i discuss it).
55 grain federal premium.
This is the 100 round box from walmart. Still at the 77 grain zero mark and it didnt do bad at all.
Summery.
I was happy with the barrel. Granted it was only at 100 yards at "A Place to Shoot" green valley, but the barrel was dirty ( by a few hundred rounds), and it was nice and warm. But good and hot, it kept good groups through three different manufacturers and weights. Whats your opinions?
