Hi all, usually content to lurk however i have been having a problem with a new to me model 94.
At 25 yards checking to see if i was on paper i easily produced several 5 shot groups just under an inch (minus called flyers that opened the average up to 1.5") i know this isnt amazing but i rarely shoot deer past 75 yards so it suits me fine to have a 3.5-4moa rifle.
Unfortunatly when i backed off to set my sights at 50 i shot a group that would make a sawed of shotgun proud! 6" tall and about 5" wide. No keyholes and no called flyers..
Load is a lee 309 170f sized 310, checked and tumbled in lla weighing 177.5gr
Win brass
Win lrp
22gr H4198
Medium roll crimp into the groove
Loaded with a lyman 310 tool
It was the last group of the day and i didnt have my camera, this same load from my other 94 has not been shot at paper but rings a 6" gong at 125 untill i am bored.
Could it be my shooting? Or is that kind of non uniform group dispersion something that happens?
Also if anyone has any idea how fast that bullet is going that would be awesome, i am estimating it at 1810fps but if anybody has run this through a chrony and could let me know?
Thanks!
