Got my LMT MWS to the 100 yard range. Sitting only on a wood bench with a guy shooting 1 Rem 7mm Mag next to me. Rifle is a LMT MWS with a PRS stock, A2 buffer tube, Heavy Buffer's AR10 spring and buffer. Larue/Harris bipod, Accu-shot monopod. Premier 3-15 MIL-dot scope.
Shot six loads:
Federal XM80
PMC Bronze
Hornady AMAX 168gr
Hornady FGM 168gr
PRVI 175gr Match
Hornady 178gr Superboom
Not the greatest conditions to shoot, I don't like sitting, especially at this range with the table bounce, plus the wood structure makes the monpod wander and rise&lower a bit. Results kind of suck.
-I'm not the worlds best bench shooter, but the surplus ammo was all over the place as you can see.
-The Hornady 178gr SuperPerformance popped a primer and I had to have the range officer pull a cleaning rod and mallet to get the bolt unstuck. It also seemed to shoot really high, like a Mil higher than the other loads.
-Gun seems to like the Amax bullets. The shots were kind of in and arc, and it seemed like it started at the left and the POI moved down and too the right, in general?
-PRVI 175gr actually shot a 'group'
-FGM 168gr shot well, didn't get a full 10 shot group.
I'll wait until I go prone with it, but it doesn't seem to have the raw accuracy that I was looking for. Hopefully the SS barrels will help.
