One of the advantages of the "ignore" feature is that if you open a thread and find half the posts labeled *you are ignoring this dipschidt*, then there's obviously no sensible posts to be found. You can skip the macho pissing matches and go on to useful threads.
I just put one more Campfire member on ignore as a result of this thread, and may add one or two.

Here's an example of what my Creedmoor is capable of and I have many more at long range. This is what happened with FACTORY Creedmoor ammo about 2 weeks ago... 3 shot "group" LOL! ![[Linked Image]](http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo236/rcamuglia/b081e19c.jpg)

It was basically a fluke exceptional group. It shoots under 1/2" at 100 normally. It really is all about the quality of the barrel. I just had it rebarreled. The last one had issues. ![smile smile](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

It's built on a 700 action with a light palma barrel, brake, McMillan A-5. Here's what it did about 20 minutes ago with the 139 grain Scenar... ![[Linked Image]](http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo236/rcamuglia/e9290b6e.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo236/rcamuglia/072608cf.jpg) Shoots the 140 A-Max about the same. ![[Linked Image]](http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo236/rcamuglia/03900a90.jpg) Those are all 5 shot groups. I've got one just finished for a hunting gun with a 24" Brux, machining done on the action and bolt that will come in around 6.5 #'s with the scope mounted. Score High light weight hunter. Just need to finish painting the stock. I'm tired of carrying 8 to 10 pound rifles around all day on hunts. I think the light weight Creedmoor will become my "go to" rifle for everything short of elk.

What distances have you shot to with the palma contour/A-5 rig?
Thanks for the info BTW.

I'd be interested to know what load you actually settled on. Both are exceptional. I also wonder how many of each charge you shoot to settle on the load. Really nice job on that target.
Experience is something you get, just after you needed it.

We shot all weekend. Steel at 316, 488, 640, 840, 945, and 1240. My A-max load was showing way too much vertical at 945, so I'll head to the range in tha am with the 41.8 grain load Scenar to check it at 600 on paper. Taking the press and 50 charged cases. I think the load will be good and will just try to tune any vertical out if there is any with seating depth variations.
To answer your question, I've shot the creedmoor out to 1760 (1 mile) and made hits on steel.

At 600, the 41.8 gr load with the 139 Scenar grouped at 3.5". Four of the five shots grouped at 1.5", the fifth shot was low making the group the size it was. 3.5" was the group size and it was due to the one shot being low.
I'm going to shoot it at 1000 yards this week and try going up a little in .2 but 1/2 MOA of vertical is pretty good and I think I can live with it.
I came back from the range today and plugged all of the load info into QuickLoad. I've been reading about the "Optimal Barrel Time Concept". QuickLoad shows barrel exit time for the load you enter. The exit time happens to coincide with node 5 for a 26" barrel on the OBT table. It may work.

Ok, you're losing me now. Post a pic after you shoot a dog and list the range. Thanks. ![grin grin](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) Travis

rcamuglia is that load in the 2850 fps range? I think so. I haven't Chrono'd it but it's hotter than my A-Max load that is at 2780. The A-Max load's data for 600 is 3.6 mils come up and I only came up with the Scenar 3.2 for the same POI. Ok, you're losing me now. Post a pic after you shoot a dog and list the range. Thanks. ![grin grin](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) Travis http://www.the-long-family.com/optimal%20barrel%20time.htmEnjoy!
