GreyGhost85 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 man those new turrets on that scope should really make it easy to adjust for windage and elevation, then execute a perfect head shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Well, Larry and I just got back from the range... The goatsucker showed potential, but nothing stellar today. All groups hovered around 1.5 inches today. I had two groups where 2 were touching, and I pulled the 3rd shot! ... I am gonna mess with the lenghts and go back out and shoot tomorrow... On the other hand, my 270 wsm printed 3 touching, and the javelina and turkeys were in trouble out to 550!... Hard to think about that as a BACKUP gun!

Chef Report post Posted July 19, 2008 You will get it shooting well Casey. Did you break in the barrel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Decided that since tha Shilen barrels are hand lapped, that they come broken in. I did run dry patches/patches with Hoppes through it every 5-6 shots or so to soak up the unburnt powder. Even at the end of the day, when I took the nylon brush and Sweets 7.62, I was surprised at how small amount of copper fouling there was in the barrel from the TSX's. Larry, I am STILL pulling blue patches out of the WSM. (Finally took a nylon brush to it as well.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajohunter Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Are you using handloads or factory? I bet that rifle will eventually shoot less than 1" groups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 Are you using handloads or factory? I bet that rifle will eventually shoot less than 1" groups Yeah, hand loads all the way. Gun has only seen 3 shots of factory ammo, and that was by the smith to make sure it would safely go bang! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
