Re: Think I have a 223 load sorted
A rough measure says around 0.49inch for 5 shots. If I exclude the outlier then I could say 0.33.

I think you would have a job to improve on that.
Great shooting.

Pretty useless without the rest of the information.
As to the group, yeah that's pretty good. What rifle.

Re: Think I have a 223 load sorted
That group was the last I had of some 26gn which seemed promising. I'm happy with the results. I also had similar results but not quite as good as this one. I've just loaded some more to test/repeat.
OSA/ADI brass. BR-4 primers, 26gn 2206H, 55gn Sierra Blitzking.
Rifle is the Ruger Predator with a Nikon Monarch.

Re: Think I have a 223 load sorted
if it's the one I'm thinking it's a lot of rifle for a ruger nice chunky 22" barrel and a good adjustable triggerThe Raven wrote:That group was the last I had of some 26gn which seemed promising.

The Predator is the model down from the Varmint Target. Mine comes in that green mountain laminate, SS with a medium barrel.Tackleberry wrote:if it's the one I'm thinking it's a lot of rifle for a ruger nice chunky 22" barrel and a good adjustable triggerThe Raven wrote:That group was the last I had of some 26gn which seemed promising.

I think that is the rifle some of us were trying to convince you that you wanted it, even when you knew you wanted it before we did.

Yep that's the one. It was an excellent choice!Camel wrote:I think that is the rifle some of us were trying to convince you that you wanted it, even when you knew you wanted it before we did.![]()
Very happy with it so far. Pleasure to use, easy to clean.
I'll probably upset people with this but it could do with a removable magazine. That would make it a little easier to load/unload jumping in/out of vehicles.
