Why R17 instead of h4350?
H4350 was hard to fine. So ppl started using R17. R17 is faster burning I believe, I know it’s temp sensitivite

Sounds about right......it should be a slight elevation change but nothing dramatic.Has anyone ever had POI changes with a hot barrel? Let mine get hotter than I probably should have today and all of a sudden, I'm shooting 1.5-2" low. With 2 different kinds of ammo. Didn't get a chance to shoot again after it cooled down but thought that was odd.
This savage is killing me! Making shooting boring. We put up a 4" plate at 300 and its no problem to drill that thing every time. No breathing, no steady pull.. Point, pull, boom! hit. But this savage will hold a .5-.75" group at 300 yards as well.Sounds about right......it should be a slight elevation change but nothing dramatic.
You guys are killin me.......i wont get to any rifle shooting until august or so.....

Is it worth my time to work up a load for a rifle if I plan on mounting a brake and suppressor in a couple months? I'd hate to spend the time and money getting a load that shoots lights out then mount my QD brake and can and that load shoot like crap with the change in harmonics.
if you do have to change anything it will be a few tenth's of a grain or seating depth. Largly depends on the can (light weight the better) and brake...don't want a huge weight handing off the end of the barrel. You'll see a POI shift more than anything. With a suppressor it's about is the POI repeatable.Is it worth my time to work up a load for a rifle if I plan on mounting a brake and suppressor in a couple months?

probably depends greatly on the can. With my Savage FCP-SR and Omega suppressor, the POI shift when adding the can is negligible. The same load works well both suppressed and unsuppressed. A heavier can with a different mount may very well change things up.
Edit...I mount the Omega with a direct thread adapter, no QD brake.
I run a brake for the same reason but also because I shoot 50/50 suppressor and unsuppressed.Is weight the reason you run direct thread? I see a lot of people talk about running a brake essentially act as an extra blast baffle and helps reduce wear on the can.

Few precision cans when you order a "direct" thread verison they just loctie a brake in to the can. (thunderbeast does this)
I ordered a 8oz timney calvin elite for the HMR.
set it to 2lbs at least. Cock the firearm, turn it to point the muzzle up and drop it/slam it on the floor is the firing pin drops, in crease weight. Do this 10 times.
8oz would be super light for a match that involved moving around. My Savage is set at 10oz. That's the lightest I could get it and it not set off the trigger while cycling the bolt somewhat quickly. At 6oz, just pushing the safety blade in the trigger would set it off. If I ever did a match that required moving the rifle around, I'd probably turn my up a bit to a heavier weight as well.My match rifles (I use a Calvin Elite) are sent to 2 pounds. Some guys use 80z but in tactical match that's flirting with disaster

are the other 6 shots on the target to the right?View attachment 54175 How about a 9 shot group out of my Rpr rimfire. I pulled one at 50 yards
Still need to get rimfire sighted in but honey dews last two days sucked 125 bags of mulch spread and small patio laid.View attachment 54175 How about a 9 shot group out of my Rpr rimfire. I pulled one at 50 yards

we need more targets, so we can shoot at different ranges, and see how fast we can do that.Anybody shooting lately? Me and @jmccracken1214 shot to 450 saturday. So easy it became boring very quickly. Need to find somewhere to really stretch this thing out
