CF liner: 29 Bucks Well Spent

[Drumsnguns]

Picked up a CF liner for my .25/700 mm Impact II. Did not glue it. 

Great groups on my first outing at 50 and 100 but tonight I went out to 145. I only had about 30 minutes til sundown after work so I don’t think I was quite in “the zone” racing the light so some targets are worse than others but all were sub MOA with NSA 38.9 @ 927fps.

Totally happy with the results I’m getting. CF liner is highly recommended. Before the CF, at that distance….. it wasn’t pretty!

Which groups are at 145? They all look good.

All of these groups are at 145. 
I think I tossed the 50 yard targets. I only have one group at 100 and they were very good but
one group doesn’t really tell much of a story so I didn’t post them. 

The 50 and 100 were right after the CF install just to have a quick look see.

I’m really surprised and happy with these at 145.
As the weather cooperates I’ll try for 200. Maybe this weekend.

Dang dude, that is unbelievably awesome. So glad someone is shooting a 25 w/slugs at distance, and posting the results.

It took me an entire summer of trying to shoot a group that small at 100 yards years ago. And you just casually shot one at 150, basically.

All those groups are certainly minute of tin can at 145.

It is a new day.

It’s taken about a year and a half to get here. 
Trying different slugs

having trouble with the gun itself. Had to send it back to FX

….then messing around w those blasted liner o-rings. 

it’s been a long frustrating road but finally it’s falling together. 

 

[Flintsack]

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. It obviously paid off. I’d say you hit the jackpot with that barrel velocity slug shooter combination.

I’ve never even shot a 25 slug. I want see what it does at 200…

I have three different rifles that I think would work, maybe that will be this winter’s project. After you show us the way.

@drumsnguns: Nice shooting!!!



My impact is setup for 25 slugs also and haven't really had the chance to stretch it out yet but maybe this weekend. I should have my new 60 minute bottle back so I might make a full day at the range! 



@flintsack: The .25 NSA slugs have very good BC, according to my ballistic solvers the 34.9 grain slugs have BC of 0.11 or only 2 inches of drift at 100 yards and 9 inches of drift at 200 yards with 5mph wind at 90 degrees. My goal is go to 300 yards, at 300 yards 90 degree 5mph wind will drift 21 inch or 2.1 mils which should be manageable, if I aim at one edge of my target leading into the wind I should hit the paper at least.....I bought big targets. LOL

Superior Heavy liner correct?

 

[Drumsnguns]

Centercut, that is correct.
Now I’m hoping to get back on the BR trail. I just couldn’t get consistency with the O-rings. I’m going to check the liner for smoothness and polish if necessary.

Funny thing is that 0.356” group was the very first group out of the chute. The rest kinda got progressively worse but I wish I’d had a picture of my face with that first one. If the second one had been that good I’d have fallen over.

i wonder if anyone else is having the same results with those new 38.9 dish based slugs?

They’ve been the “magic bullet” for me. 

 

[Flintsack]

It is not at all unusual for me to have the very first group of the day to be the best.
It had to be a blast to shoot those groups.

You hit the nail on the head. There’s really not much info out there for slugs and .25. 


Hoping that the .25-ers will get something out of this.
