sureshot Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I finally got out to a freinds to get the scope all sighted in and cronographed today, was not getting super groupings yet, was about 3/4 inch but need a bit of fooling around with seating depth to get it perfect, what i was amazed with was the 3800 fps average out of 15 shots, all within 20 fps amazing to get that speed out of a .223, he had a coyote with a 4inch area in the chest that swings open when shot, with a light wind it was drifting about 10 inches and only dropping 4 inches at 300 yards, wind is really going to affect it but super flat, if they do not do a ton of damage I think I found a super bullet!!

hangunnr Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What bullet weight and twist rate are you running? hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureshot Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I can not tell you the twist, not to sure, Its a norenko .223, and the bullets are a barnes varmet grenade, in a 36 gr, nice thing is theya re about the same size as a 50 gr HP made the reloading easier to get the correct deepth seated, usually lighter bullets cannot be seated to keep the proper space between the rifling and bullet, these are lighterbecouse no lead in it, I guess its a copper housing and filled with copper dust sort of instead of lead, supposed to eba varmet hunters dream bullet, we will soon find out!!!
