Brod build: 100 FPE; stock barrel; shot pic updated

[PCPhack]

Here comes the results if the first time out to test ammo with the Brod.

Conditions of the next 6 posts.

Shooting fully prone
This position is a bit new for me especially with this stock and high Eagle Vision mount. I need to practice. Even with the RAI stock adjusted fully up, I still have to angle my cheek up a bit. I have to say I prefer my low scope rings, but I got the Eagle Vision mount for my infrared camera setup. A relative and I may set up a proper benchrest in the future.

Gusty moderate winds

Scope not adjusted or zeroed at all. Aimed for center target.

All rifle settings left the same. Filled between groups, so no shots off regulator. 3400 psi

8 shots per group

Circled shots are ones I know I pulled.

55gr Boattail Hollow Point custom Ratsniper; 32 yards; 97FPE

 At that power level I would get a harmonic tuner and start finding the sweet spot.

Now moved out to 50 yards. I only had time to shoot the 55 and 65 grain custom Ratsnipers. Eunjins didn't make the cut anyway.

Thanks. I liked those too, but things got a bit interesting at 50 yards. The 55 and 65grain slugs both opened up a bit more than I wanted. They are in similar regions as they shot at 35 yards, so they aren't spiralling or anything, but I would like to tighten them up. A tuner or tensioner might help.

I also want to make a barrel band for near the middle where the stocks ends, but before the tank block. I am good at bumping things, so want one that holds the barrel with the pressure of an oring set inside the barrel band loop. That way it is still semi floating, but can reduce some vibration while also protecting from bumps to the barrel.
