A little snow on the ground today with cold rain falling & temperatures in the upper 30s. To bad out to shop Wal-Mart so went shooting instead. The 700 Remington was fed the Sierra 52 gr. HPBT with 26 to 26.5 grs. of WC844. This seems to the be the sweet spot. The target was marked 5 shot but really was 4.

Took the 22-250 along which is also a 700 Remington. The bullet for this rifle was the Sierra #1360 a flat base sptz. I loaded these with a slow lot of 4895 which loads closer to 4064. The sweet spot is 34.5 to 35.5 grs.

These 2 rifles will go with me on a prairie dog hunt. Still have much work to do with them but hopefully I'll make the components on hand work.

Turkeys love this range.
