Say hello to my new ghoul friend

Rebuilt my 22-250 and finally got a chance to take her out today. Once I got her zeroed for 300 yards I must have done something wrong cause I was getting first round hits from 300 all the way out to 1000 yards with zero previous data, to say I'm pleased would be a huge understatement. I looked in the manual and went I think I will use... this one. Now to start putting together heavy weight dedicated long range rounds.

Thank you, I was expecting to have to work harder than I did to get on target

That’s pretty amazing that you just picked a random load out of the manual and it shot that well. I feel like a lottery ticket is in order now.

Well...I suck at gambling so I probably won't get a lottery ticket

I’m the same way. I wouldn’t get one either, I never win anything.

!:7, that's a pretty tight twist for that. I was wondering why the heavy bullets. Makes sense now.

Went to the range Thursday, the 80gr ELD's and 80.5gr Berger show potential, didn't like the 77 & 80gr RDF's however my best performer was my break in load, 73gr ELD and H380 powder gave me a .700 5 shot group. Going to load some more to make sure that wasn't a fluke. Will post pictures later today.

That’s a good start. Some tinkering and fine tuning should get you where you want to be.

Today was a fruitful day, got my M1A rezeroed(swapped scopes) but more importantly found some good loads fur my 22-250, that's 8 out of 10 shots(missed 2) at 600 yards, the big cluster, the other his you see are from different loads. 80gr ELD and RL19, now to load more and try them at the 1000 yard steel and see how they work, the 85gr RDF and RL19 performed good alsohttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac02c45796.jpg

Oh wow!!! That is outstanding at 600. Can’t wait to see what it does at 1000.
