Pic to follow later... finally got to shoot the LR-308, the one I posted pics of in another thread. This rifle has the designation of PACKAGE 3 and has a fluted 24 inch barrel with brake, PRS stock, and free-float railed HG, I added a 3 pound Timney and Harris bi-pod, scope is Vortex PST 4-16.
Fired 20 rounds Hornady 168 TAP and 5 rounds hand loaded 175 SMK pulls (bullets have marks and shoot ok for what they are). All rounds functioned 100%, all ejected dead on to 3 o'clock about 3 feet. Bolt locked back 100% on last round as it should. The brake works very well... sweet to shoot. On the last 4 rounds of the Hornady, after getting on paper, sighting in, and doing last round bolt hold open tests, I shot a group that went under 1 inch at 100 yards... I'll measure and post a pic later. The 175 SMK pulls were loaded hot (were developed with my bolt guns) and showed on set of pressure, no surprise there, the 5-shot group went about 1 1/4" at 100 yards... not bad as like I said, the bullets are marked from being pulled and shoot off on occasion with my bolt guns. Over all very pleased with the rifle... ZERO malfunctions and the rifle shows definite promise. I expected some functioning issues during break in but not this time... |
