Got some Pittman bullets and great advice from Kyle Pittman on how to shoot them.
I sized 3 sets of bullets. The first set was the largest that would start down the barrel after many very small adjustments in the sizer. The next set was slightly smaller and the next slightly smaller than that.
The first set all hit the same elevation within a 0.5 inch but strung 2.2 inches horrizontally. The second set all hit the same elevation within 0.25 inches but strung 1.1 inches horrizontally. The third group,the smallest bullets, all touched with a slight vertical stringing if you could even call that stringing.
I shot two bullets to foul the barrel prior to the 3 sets. So, does increased fouling explain the group size improvement as the sets progressed ? Or is bullet sizing the answer ? Horizontal stringing is often attributed to barrel / forearm fit. This is a Scout and the fit is not uniform.
Thanks, Oldranger
