A little range time with the drilling.
13/02/15 03:57 AM

I spent the day at the range yesterday, mostly playing with some classic autoloaders but spent a little time getting to know my Franz Jaeger 16x16x222 Rimmed. It was originally an 8x57 rimmed that was resleeved to 222 Rimmed. I mounted the Hensoldt scope and tried a few loads.

It was interesting to note that once I got zeroed and started trying a few loads the first shot would go to the point of aim. The second shot about 3-4 inches higher and the third shot that much higher again. The fourth and fifth shot would group nicely with the third shot. Let it cool down for a few minutes and the first shot would be right back on the point of aim.

I have some suspicions about why this may be happening but don't know enough about drillings and resleeved barrels to say with any authority.

I suppose it really isn't a problem as long as I always make that first shot count.
