44-77 brass

[J.B.]

I believe you're dead right Don. Within the limits that I'm likely to achieve with powder/ velocity increases.. it is never going to make up for a faster twist rate. A poor attempt to compensate perhaps but it's giving me more excuses to shoot...so it cant be all bad. This bullet is certainly better than the earlier Creedmoor style I've been using beyond 750 yds and was fairly consistent in 'average' winds out to 900 when I tested recently. I'll stay with my Brooks mould for anything up to 700 yds though and I think it would be fine for silhouette. It may not be the ideal 1000 yd contender I'd hoped for ..but I still think it's a gem of a cartridge. In a faster twist... it will likely be a longer range contender without the fiddling about . I'll be interested to see your results when your faster twist gun is on the line. Bit disappointed with my latest lot of Swiss as it's much lighter for its volume than the previous lot . Hopefully it's performance will be the same .
