Stan’s super muzzle loader group prompted me to post this target I shot during our State Military Bolt Action Benchrest Match in October.
My rifle is an as issued Remington 03A3. Per the rules, no bedding or sight mods are allowed. The barrel is a two groove circa 1943.
The 10 shot group measured just over 1” shot at 100 yards.
I finished third with a 298-14x X 300 on the agg 3 relay score competition. There were two 299’s ahead of me.
There were also two 10 shot relays for group size.
True to form, I shot my best groups in the score competition😀.
My load is very mild. 24.4 grs. of 4227 behind a 168 Speer Gold Match Bullet and Federal BR primer.
Remington brass is neck sized only as pressure is not enough to require full length sizing. My brass has been fired multiple times with no bolt closure issues. I compare it to shooting one case multiple times as in Sheutzen competition. Bullets are seated to just engage the rifling.
