I got bored

#1 Post by essexboy »

After finishing reloading, looking out the window at the snow coming down and not fancying a sub zero session in the workshop, I though let's do that long overdue bullet o.a.l comparison, so here are the results based on a total random amount of each type (a hand full out of a box)


Lapua 6mm 105g approx 20 measured < 1 thou

Berger 6mm 105g approx 22 measured > 3 thou

Sierra .308 155g approx 18 measured 2 thou

Sierra .308 175g approx 20 measured 2 thou

Sierra .308 190g approx 20 measured 2 thou

After that the rugby started

You obviously were't bored enough otherwise you would have measured the variations in both the length and +- in weight as well.

Promise us that the next time you get bored you will be bored properly. ;)

The machine is a joy to use, fill it up and just set it off.

Awesome.

Did you buy that before they imposed the ITAR no-export rule, or did you negotiate or find a way around it?
