Today's Load Testing - Vhit 135

[activeviii]

just watched your video. when i first saw your 25.1gn group i thought there was parallax issues. after watching your video i think there is some pilot error getting in there as well.

not picking holes or anything else, just a couple of thoughts. your head is bobbing about a lot, almost as if your trying to get a good cheek weld on the stock. also seams there is some snatching at the trigger.

try shooting the group without taking your cheek weld off the stock, even when reloading.

a 223 with a good barrel is not over fussy so should be giving better results. i shoot 40sbk. 40vmax and 52amax. all have a massive node of 1.5gn, with the n135 and i have to seat them according to the bullet length and not COL.


as said, not picking, just commenting

I would be peed off if that was my dry stone wall.

Yeah, it's a good job that it's mine

Dude, lower you scope as almost zero cheek weld.

That'd be a good idea. Not sure what height the Tikka mounts are but they certainly aren't the high ones. I'll have a look into that

I fear he has a point of course you could have a look around for a 75mm objective scope and just put some spacers on the stock?






Nah ! get some lower mounts

Yeah you're completely right. The size of the group there was more of a reflection of my shooting ability as apose to the load. Certainly cheek weld is an area that needs improvement. Also, the dot I was aiming at wasn't particularly precise with such a fine reticule.

I'm happy with the load all the same
