and WOW.
I never could fathom how simply reloading your own ammunition can improve the accuracy of a rifle. I am now a believer.
I have quite simply, never been able to shoot like I shot today.
I was using my M24/47 mauser with
- Privi Partizan brass
- Sierra 150 grain JSP, 0.323 diameter
- 50 grains of IMR 4350
- Winchester primers
- An overall length of 2.945"
I was shooting from a benchrest at a distance of 50 yards. On my first target I was able to put 4/5 shots inside the 1 sq. in. bullseye. Previously I have put about 200 rounds of surplus down range and the best I could do was to MAYBE hold a 4 inch ring at 50 yards. I simply assumed thats the best the rifle could do.
I am a believer. In fact, I just finished reloading the 20 pieces of brass from todays range session.
The target above may not be very impressive, but for my skill level, it's pretty much a miracle. The one that missed high was the first shot on a cold barrel.
The main cluster is about 1.25" in diameter.
That is all. Please continue about your business.
