Ballistic Gel Testing
Matching twist rates for varmint hunting makes sense to me if shooting prairie dogs and you get your barrel hot enough you can’t touch it. I’ve read that that can contribute to jacket failure though I’ve never heated a barrel up enough to do that. Add in the extra RPM that isn’t needed with...- brockel

Loading to mag length
All I do anymore. Load to mag length unless it hits the lands then I seat just off lands. I don’t dick with seating depths anymore. Work up to max powder. If it doesn’t shoot I try a different powder. Simple- brockel

Gun for an 8 year old.
Have worked the bolt a few hundred times now and it’s getting noticeably smoother. Sighted it in and then shot steel out to 500 with it pretty easily. Fun little gun. Probably will end up being my thermal rifle. Shoots factory 62grain eldvt at 3160fps -
