Nice fireballl @DWB

Here's my contribution.

Not sure what that untidy feeding on the second round was all about

These plinking loads are on the mild side, ~5750 ft lbs - but deliver good accuracy.

Target is at 25 m, offhand, shooting 'quick' pairs.

That's my 'quick' not Jerry Miculek 'quick' .

I'm awaiting daylight .. we'll give the Kynoch's a shot here shortly.

been up all night, why not.

 

[Daniel Cary]

I didn't notice that much difference. However, the lighter bullets & Kynoch do have a bit more energy.

600grn, Norma 570, Norma 540, Kynoch.

I threw a box of clays with the coach again .. I've never felt a 3" that stout.

600 grain Woodleighs at 2200fps. Have zeroed a scope for this rifle now as well so I have the option of the red dot and a scope.

Geez there seems to be a lot of Blaser R8 500 Jeffery rifles in Australia.
I to have a R8 PH.
I went for the super low Henneberger four foot mount, with a Docter 3 on it. It gives me much better cheek weld, than with a standard mount and red dot. I also have settled on the 600 grain Woodleigh. Bloody fantastic combination.
