So. Did some first-shot breakins, and zeroing of scope for both barrels.
The Uintah is really nice! 2 groups at the end of its workout, one with Eldm-108 (factory) 0.6 moa, and one with my hand load 103 Eldx (I was hoping it would work for both of these) - 0.75"/100 yd.
Now to be fair the first one was only at 50 yds but still 0.3", 3-shot. Getting used to scopes as well as barrels.
My 20-Monster, I had some time left so tried a few down range. One set of 4 came in at a 2x2 pattern, ~1.3" but I was getting a little tired (eyes) and the butt stock I have on it isn't my favorite... so. These clock at 2681 in the faxon-20 so I expect/hope similar for this one... and Grt says they are at 2740 in the Uintah... although I think more like ~2720, for those extra 2 inches.
The uintah did have a couple 108's that were difficult to pick up/feed, I had to jiggle them in. 2 of them I think. None of the 103's had any problems.
Still, having one load that is promising for both my babies.... YEAH!!
Chrony and dialing in of loads, on the horizon. For both of these guys.
