View Full Version : Drop test at 200 with the .500 JRH

I had two with more barrel rise, I need to get recoil under control. I picked the three that felt good and the same so I can figure 20" at 200 with a 50 yard center setting. That is better then the .475 with 1" high settings at 50 yards. They are 18" but start higher.
The three that felt the same are in 1-5/8" at 200.
The gun shoots flat compared to a .44 with 35" drop.
More work will be coming.

A little messy with lube. Close to my .475 boolt but the nose is a little different.

Not aerodynamic at all....
Interesting. Your group above makes me shake my head and keep practicing.

good shooting Jim
Thanks.
It will get better once I find how to make barrel rise stay the same. This thing COMES UP and disrupts the rest.
The vertical stringing is barrel rise changes. I might try Creedmore, that should even out recoil but it is harder to hold still. My old body vibrates and changes twist rates! :bigsmyl2:

Jim, are you using the same load we worked up for mine?

Yes, I see no need to change and have done nothing else.
