Do you have any AV, SD, ES for these loads?
Did you clean the barrel between powder/bullet combo test?
What brass and is it match prepped?
What is 36X?
No
No
Starline and No
36X is the Sightron SIII scope that I use for load testing from time to time
My rifle is being used for informal target shooting and long range varmint shooting
To expand a little bit....I haven't used a chronograph for my load testing with my 6AR yet. I like to get the accuracy to a consistent, happy point and then check the numbers. That way I don't get hung up on velocity too much.
I don't clean the barrels on any of my rifles until accuracy starts to drop off. I've never noticed a significant difference (other than needing to foul it again) in my groups by doing so.
As far as prepping brass goes I've tried it all and once again didn't notice any measurable difference in my groups. I suppose it might help a high end target rifle but for my needs it's just more work for basically the same results.
