Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

[Point Creep]

Better clue to 10 shot group above. A legit 1” or less rifle is really great in my opinion. This is one of them and if I wanted to spend hours and hours in my basement messing with ammo it would be better but No thanks.

Goal was a rifle I could shoot a prairie dog in the head at 100m with every time.

Got the new barrel on the .223 and shot eight 5 shot groups as a quick test. It was windy, about 15mph and even so the largest group at 100m was 1.1” and those were at the end with a pretty hot barrel. Tried 2 batches of 75 eldm at .51 and .46 with 24 and 25 grains of varget. Tomorrow going to try a 10 shot zero with the 25 grain load. Was getting 2848 avg velocity.

Shot 60 vmax, 62 ttsx, 62 eldm-vt, 70AB and 75 eldm.

Sending 2 other rifles in to have barrels swapped by this guy.

If you piss off a bear and it charges you, a side benefit of your set up is that you can crush its skull with a swing of that monstrosity of a scope. When you decide to part with that scope, let me know and I might even be able to come up with a little more than I gave you for the LRHS.

What would you do with that scope put it on your snub nose?

I have the mount, now I just need the proper tactical scope.
