Well JJ I'm waiting on your range results! That little sucker should shoot! ..may need to mess with the trigger a little..
Well, todays range visit was pretty dismal for the most part. My 10ml was giving me fits!
BUT - My first visit with my newest addition was pretty fun!
Last night, I loaded up 20 rounds using 20gr of 2015 and 35gr Vmax's. This wasnt a book load for such a light bullet but I figured I would give it a go. 20gr in the little case was pretty much full, my sierra book says max load would be 20.2gr in the tiny case.
Here is a pic ( albeit a bad one ) with a Bushnell 4200 4x16x40 on top and ready to go.
Here is a comparison of the .221FB and a .204 Ruger. The .221 is on the right.
All in all, I got the gun sighted in and got to shoot 3 - 3 shot groups at 100 yds. Best group is this one.. The other 2 opened up a bit.
Best group was somewhere between .75" and .5" and worst was maybe 1.25" or more.
A few passes over the chrony showed speeds in the high 2800's. Next up is Lil'Gun.. I hope to accurately push closer to 3400fps.
I'll keep ya posted!
Thanks for getting me HOOKED Chuck!
