Hey All
Got back from a nice day at the shooting range yesterday with a couple of targets that I shot with my Krieger barreled .220 Swift. Both are three shot groups with the one holer being .064" and the other being .35". That gun has always shot well but this was a load that I had not tried before. It was 37 grains of Varget with the 50 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets with a Federal Match primer. I was too chicken to try for 5 shot groups but was pretty happy with what I got.
I took pictures of the targets but I couldn't figure out how to post them darn it. The one group you literally could not push a pencil though it without tearing the paper.
I like to shoot more than a couple of groups with any load before I start getting really excited but this one don't look like no fluke.
I loaded up some more an hour or so ago with some Vmax bullets and am going to see how they do. If they do anywhere near as well as the Noslers do then I have me a new critter load come springtime.
Shooting two consecutive groups that averaged .207" makes me feel like I might just have a real winner here.
