After getting my FL die back from Hornady (the first one wasn't sizing the neck) I started testing for my Seekins/Compass Lake build.
While the velocity numbers are spectacular, the accuracy for me was pretty amazing. I rarely see results like this out of my Tikka A1.
Last week one notable group was as follows:
5 shot group
Berger 105g Hybrid
24.2g Vihtavuori N135
O.A.L 1.684"
C.O.A.L approx 2.203"
Average Velocity 2530'/sec
SD 7.4
ES 18
Group size .3130
I re-tested this week to see if it was a fluke and the results are as follows:
5 shot group
