I read a study that concluded the temp of the barrel had a greater affect on velocity than the temp of the powder. But put them both together and you can see a huge velocity swing. Ammo sitting in the sun at 95* and a hot barrel after 10 shots would probably shoot close to 100fps faster than a single shot sitting in a deer stand in 40* weather. I've got a rifle with a match barrel and I've noticed lot to lot variations from one box of ammo to the next affect accuracy. This rifle shoots nice small groups when the velocity is around 3015, but opens up considerably at 3080. That's Federal Fusion 270 130 gr. I thought my accuracy woes were over when I bought this barrel! Haha, you weren't kidding when you said there are a lot of variables.

@@CoryH it will out perform 270 by a long shot.

@@tylermallory2504 "Max safe pressure is way higher on 6.8" FALSE! Both are exactly the same 65,000 psi MAP (max average pressure) in SAAMI specs, with the same 4% standard error allowed as for almost all chamberings. You probably mistook it for 277 Sig FURY, the first and so far ONLY chambering with MAP higher than 65,000psi (that one is rated for 80,000psi, but requires steel casehead for that, brass is too soft).

That insane heat and humidity affects the density of the air which will account for the difference from your sighting in group to today. Also, as the longer you are on the range in that climate you do fatigue a bit more than you might realize which might account for group #4. What "I" would like to see if for you to repeat that exact same test when the weather is 40 degrees or less and see how things change... or don't change. I don't have my 6.8 Western yet Adam, so I'm living it through your videos!! Please keep these coming!! My almost 70 year old eyes don't even think of trying 1000 yard or mile long shots... but I hope you are successful. 300 yards is about my maximum these days, but that will be perfect for my Alaska hunting after I get moved up next year!
@nk4583 жыл бұрын
Heat can really effect your accuracy...hell you can end up with a heat stroke. Really have to be careful, sometimes I take a cold tile when I'm out working in the heat. Early in the mornings and late at night is when I look for groundhogs. I've noticed that even groundhogs get less active in the heat of the day and stay close to the shade or just poke their heads out. Humidity can be another factor on accuracy and barrel. Depending on on how many rounds you run a bull barrel can handle longer duration on heat and last bit not least barrel twist and powder Less twist on the barrel use lighter grains. More twist more grains.

Im grabbing the 6.8 Western in the Christensen MPR or Ridgeline, I may go Ridgeline because I already have a MPR in .300 win mag and its making key holes at 300 yards with a lead sled but still its a jaw dropper, I know I got a really good rifle, not all are as good as this one I know that. I definitely got lucky and its about time lol I had a bad Ruger M77 in a .338 win mag back in the day. We have big elk out here all over and we have MASSIVE bodied deer as well, we have blacktails out here but they are half mule deer called bench legs and the further east you go in Washington State the more muley they get but they are awesome bucks with very unique dark horned racks! So many elk they are like fleas on a dog, the elk trails look like dirt bike trails lol and we have chrome salmon from the ocean in 20 foot wide small rivers I love in here in the Pacific Northwest it really is heaven on earth out here!

Never had opportunity to shoot more than about a 100yds. From what I hear/read about hunting out west, 300 yds is as normal as a 75 yd woods shot is here, lol. Thats the tool for that job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I agree, the older I get the more I like fall and winter. I work in the heat and it sucks.

This question is from my lack of knowledge but would sandbags or weights of any kind help stabilize your gun stand and would it help with this kind of testing?

Similar results to what I've seen in multiple calibers with those bullets. The Silvertips I wouldn't use unless they were my only choice, and not over 100 yards. The ABLR is my preferred bullet since it is less velocity dependent for expansion, and has been very accurate in every caliber I've tried it on. The Matchkings are, well.... king. I haven't really experimented with the "yellow tips" since I've had so much success with the ABLRs.

Didn't know until now that ballistic coefficient is the opposite of a cars coefficient where the lower # means less drag. Thanks Dt. Who! 👍

BC is measured against one of 2 standards: G1 and G7. G7 is for more of the modern bullets. Prolly should use the G7 standard for these ammos. I think he said G1 was on the box. I’m still learning about this stuff…

That lead sled is meant to have weight on the bottom under that tube that says Caldwell

Weighting that sled can damage your rifle. It can cause the recoil lug to crack your stock. Or worse, it can damage your recoil lug and receiver.
