popcornCustom 6.5mm wildcat rifle. 22" light weight barrel,45.7 grains DP 86( similar to acc3100), reformed .243 win. cases,#34 primers, Hardly a breeze. rifle not cleaned at range and shot hot.
  • 140 grain HPBT Sierra match, OAL=3.030", 2728 to 2770 FPS., Clean and MILD!1" group at 50 yds.but not bad at 200yds.
  • 129 grain BT, poly tip Mid South Blem, OAL=3.100", 2796 to2846 FPS.,just a little soot, MILD Not max. 1" group at 50 yds., great at 200 and 300 yds.
    ConfusedGoing back to this rifle's short history, no load is too great at 50 yds., but most look fine at 200 and 300 yds.An observer at the range thought it might be attributable to lack of stability at close range. I guess this opinion is as good as any. Opinions are welcome. fishingroger


    Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
