Here is my pride and Joy.
It was a sunday morning 300 yard prone match. Mostly AR15 type, One M1 garand, My daughter shooting a TC contender with 223 rifle barrel and stock.
I was shooting a remington 700 VL in 22-250
I was using 18 grains of SR4759. Boolit is 225646 weighing in around 57 grains of pure linotype. Lube is the red stuff I got from LAR45. Its 50/50 with carnuba wax added.
To get the accuracy I want, I have to weigh every charge. I also weighed the boolits within + or - .3 grains. The night before the match, I was weighing boolits and powder. I ran out of powder :( . I did end up with 25 good "Match" rounds. So I shot the first string of 20 with the not as good stuff to get my scope tuned in perfectly. I shot the second string with the good boolits and here is the target.
I have been neck sizing only for the last few months. The bolt was closing hard, and I figured out that was why. So I didn't worry about it too much until the bolt started opening hard too. I pulled the bolt out and saw It had a burr kicked up on the rear of one of the lugs. I stopped shooting 15 rounds into the second string. I didin't want to trash the bolt.
As it ended, my daughter beat me with the TC contender and she beat a few others there too.
The 10 ring measures 6", the X is around 3"
