Title: Finally have a shooter in 257
Post by: shamu25 on August 28, 2015, 05:09:57 PM
Finally have a shooter.  My Condor .257 has a barrel and shroud by Mike of Citrus, a valve, spring and hammer my Dyotat and with 69 gr  257420 hollowpoints from Doug she did this 5 shot group today at 35 yards.  Now to back her up and she what she really can do.  Still experimenting with PW settings and fill pressures etc.

That's awesome.  Accuracy will improve the more the barrel is broken in.

thanks guys for your kind comments. it's amazing how much quality help and encouragement is out there. Mike provided some quality machining and Doug has been amazing at helping me add power and to fine tune. hoping to do some shooting at 50 and then 100 yards to see what I really have in my hands at this point. I have been reading about accurate guns for a long time and have been hoping to build something that can run with the rest of them. my fingers are still crossed but things are looking up

Good to see you have it going your way.
Do you have a place to stretch it out.
