Shot 10 rounds of 108 Match in 22” barrel Howa today. Temp was 46 degrees and avg was 2620 fps which is slower than factory advertised velocity by 130 fps.
Did launch 4 at a 650 yard gong and with 14.25 moa got 2 hits. Still carrying nice energy as gong swung pretty good.
Now at 75 rounds downrange and cleaning up nicely each 10 rounds fired. Throat has grown .010-.015 so looking forward to more shooting. Thinking once I start loading my once fired brass I can get another 75 fps or better and hopefully improve accuracy with some seating depth work. The factory ammo has shot under moa; roughly 3/4” at 100 yds but bullets in factory loads are .075 off the lands so will experiment on that.
Keep us posted on your continuing work/load work ups! Thx.
