Finally got to have Christmas with my son today. Had a very nice day together...
Awesome shooting, as usual Carlos!
Gorgeous combo!
As promised, here are today's test results with the Noveske. I zeroed the rifle at 50 yards with Federal XM193 before testing accuracy at 100 yards. All shots were fired from a bench, with front and rear bags, using my Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 scope. I used 4 different brands of ammo. 2 groups of 5 rounds each un-suppressed and 2 groups of 5 rounds each suppressed for each brand. I wanted to see if there was an accuracy difference with the suppressor on and how much the POI would change.
Best groups:
0.88" - Magtech 77gr OTM (Black Hills MK262 clone ammo)
0.89" - Hornady Frontier Match 62gr BTHP ($7 per box at my LGS !!)
0.92" - Magtech 77gr OTM
1.06" - Hornady Frontier Match 62gr BTHP
1.17" - Magtech 77gr OTM
1.24" - Wolf Gold 55gr FMJ (calm down, it's brass cased ammo )
*Fun side note. You'll see in the picture my first shot suppressed with the Hornady 62gr ammo went a little south, I then proceeded to shoot the next 4 shots into a 0.68" group. I blame squirrels, they were chattering pretty hard in the woods nearby.
Awesome shooting, as usual Carlos!
I had a Kramer OWB scabbard in mahogany horsehide custom made for it.
Sorry for the crappy photo
Gorgeous combo!
