Intended use: Walk-and-paste High Power, short range precision.
Notes\Comments: The Load for 20" HBAR and 16" M4. Less soot on cases than my previous entry of 24gr. Cartridge/Caliber: 5.56 NATO Case manufacturer: FC Case length: 1.745" Bullet manufacturer: Hornady Bullet weight and type: 50gr VMAX Powder type: H4895 Powder charge weight: 25.0gr OAL: 2.255" Primer: CCI 400 Firearm tested in: AR15 M4gery Chrono data (Avg, ES, SD): 20" - 3175/114/37. 16" - 2905/129/39. Pics are from the Prone Slow Fire phase of the last two matches. I'm a big guy with a little gun, so Natural Point of Aim and trigger squeeze is tedious. If you mess up a little, it's a 10. Mess up a lot, it's a 9. When you're good, it stacks. May have put a 0.25 MOA right at some point. Attached File Attached File Mistakenly put 0.5 MOA right after the first 3 shots. Attached File I quit looking through the spotting scope to focus on the last 5 shots. Attached File |
