hangunnr Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Took the 308XP out today for her maiden voyage.....wow. She looks good in the sunshine... For the first 8 shots I cleaned after each shot. I used these shots to walk the impacts onto the center dot. Shots 9-13 were fired in one string then the barrel was cleaned again. Shots 14-20 were then fired in one string. I'm calling it good for the break in. The load was a middle of the road quantity of Varget under a 125gr Nosler Ballistic tip sitting inside virgin Lapua brass. Other than a 300 Whisper barrel I've not had another 308 bore that would shoot the 125's. This one did pretty well with them.. A little close up of shots 14-20. This was at 100yds. The black dot is 1" across. Here is a shot of the target at 12X through the Burris scope. I think I'll stick this barreled action into the rifle stock and screw a big scope on top and see what it'll really do... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon8777 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Nice shooting!!! Next to the Leo DD mount, I think the Waren rings are the next best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
