for the boom-box

I previously had a Mickey Mouse base on it that wasn't adjustable. Now I can adjust it to different angles for 100 yards, 150 yards etc.
Hopefully I can play with it in the weekend

Excellent job Neil,

Looks good. I'll bet that box really helps too.

Hey - did you ever get a final read on your 308 sizing issue?

Gary

Hi Gary

Thanks for the reminder..I did the shooting a couple of weeks ago, but not the analysis. Here's the result:

1) Velocity (2 sets of 3 shots over the chrony, averaged): .308 - 775 fps; 774 fps
.3095 - 776 fps; 776 fps

2) Group size (2 sets of 3 shots at 50 yards, in the field, rested roughly): .308 av 1.391" ctc
.3095 av 1.265" ctc

The conclusion, after a less than exhaustive test....velocity very similar, accuracy a slight margin to the fatter slugs.

Now, about that guided tour of your workshop....

Cheers

Neil

OK ... I'll pack the shop and get it on a plane ... asap!

Thanks for the results!

Nice work Neil! That will be perfect for sighting in the Yukon! You'll just have to trot off and get those tickets now! (And for God's sake, don't forget my tech support!)

Jerry, I suspect that the Yukon may blow the end clean out of my boom-box!!

I seem to have misplaced those tickets for you and your tech support, I know they're out there somewhere, let me check my map I'm sure I can dig them up
Hehehe

Neil,

Pretty good setup. How do you keep the bullet box from sliding?

Lon

Lon, it's quite a snug fit, and I usually rest the back end of it on the shooting bench so it doesn't move during a session. However, if the new set-up causes a problem I will screw a stop on each side of the box.
Cheers
Neil
