Q:

.257 GOODNESS!

It finally all came together today, and Woo-Hoo!!!

I was having problems with accuracy and ofcourse neglegted the obvious area to look first. I talked to RC, and we both though it was probably a leading issue, but happily “NOT”!

My LDC has been very effective for my .25 with Kings, but was loud with the .257 barrel. Than, and I had each chamber wrapped with white scrubby pad type material to asorb a bit of the noise. But— The .257 blew it all to Hell! 😯 And was causing major clipping. We have all heard of the issues clipping causes, and yet, In my excitement, I never thought to check the LDC. 😳

Well, I did check it this morning, and it was a frigg’n Mess!

I re-did every thing, and took out all the stuff’ns. Which increased the interior volume. It was a lot quieter. NOt Doug’s LDC quiet, or Tonys Talon Tune Quiet, but not a big “KER_BOOM!

Now here’s the good part. She started shooting like a laser at the 80 yard range I had set up. And I do mean like a LASER!!!

I am going to try to post a few pic’s of the results. Note, the target shows the hits with the F’d up LDC and the final results with everything set-up right.

Let me know what you thinK!http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r294/mlovett_photo/08-DSC01921_zps48cd05ab.jpghttp://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r294/mlovett_photo/08-DSC01921_zps48cd05ab.jpg” target=”_blank”>
This pic is 10d bullets fired into a stump at 60 yards. This is what we called Stacked!LOL!

This is how every thing arrived from Doug, (Dyotat100)[/url][/img]

Every one was excited to see what was in the Tube![/url][/img] r[/url][/img]

Even Foxy came out woke up to see what all the excitemet was all about!
And of course tried to Hog the bench! Grrrr! Final results were .313 at 80 yards with 5 shots of the .257420 Hollow Points that RoachCreek cast up. Woo-Hoo!!!

Hey Mike:

Great shooting!

Are you about done with that barrel that I sent you just for “testing purposes”? 😕
