I'm planning on shooting 39gr Blitzkings for the shoot...what about you?

39BK

Tip: buy stock in Sierra.

39 SBK

I'll be trying the 35gr bergers but I'll also be looking at some of my target loads with the 39gr SBK. I am also trying some 40gr bergers. I think for me it will be technique(both loading and shooting) that will determine my group size.

You left the 50 gr. Bergers off your poll. I may shoot the 50's in my 1/9 upper if they group better than the 39's in my 1/12 upper. I still have to see which groups the best. The 1/12 is fairly new and I may need to see what it likes.

Did you shoot any of the 50's yet. I'm getting a 1-9 twist 204 barrel for my new rig. Be sure to let us know!!

I have been shooting the 50's at 600 yd targets. It does real well at that range if I shoot at the targets with the 6 in. X ring. I am not to good at reading the wind yet so if it is too windy it is alot harder to hit them. I use 25 grs. of Varget and that seems to work. I posted earlier about my scores in practice with them.

I shot a match Sat. and because I am using a .204 AR they make me shoot in the open class which uses targets with a 3 in. X ring. I scored about 540 out of 600 possible points with that target. The guy that won was shooting a 6x47 and scored 597 with about 30 or so in the X ring. I think I can improve on the 540 with some practice and a better front rest and rear bag setup. I also cross fired during the match which cost me 10 points.

At 100 yds I shot a one time group of less that 1/2 in. but I am not sure If can duplicate that again. The Marines are using our range this week so I can't go back until next week.

I'll be shooting the 35 Bergers in my Panda and the 40 Bergers in my XR-100. I only got one choice in the survey so I pulled the 35 Bergers.

Load still undecided. Bullet will be one of the 40's. Berg, Nosler, V-max.
All three of those are working well at the time.

dogtowns ..they are the best in most rifles....
