Esk808….how was the rifle match compared to the R50? I’m planning on testing the rifle match tomorrow and a new lot of center X. Got the Lilja headspace at .041.
Hi Akubone,
You shooting your CZ with the new Lilja barrel? Should shoot real good with good ammo since it has a match chamber.
The RWS Rifle Match, in classification and price, is a step below R50.
However, at Kokohead, it is really hard to tell which is which...........
I think the RM has 3 or 4 flyers when shooting a box of 50 that you know wasn't your fault.
When shooting 5-shot groups, most of the groups are similar to shooting R50.
(Akubone, we can trade for 1-2 boxes of R50 to try in your rifle if you like. LMK)
CenterX, like RWS RM, is similar in classification and price and a step below Midas+.
I think in this comparison, CenterX would be a little more uniform than RWS RM, at least in my rifles.
(I need to test CenterX more to form a better opinion.)
(If you like try 1-2 boxes of Midas+ LMK)
Eley Match (black box) is similar in classification and price and a step below Tenex.
I'm going to get a few boxes of Eley Match to see how it shoots.
(I don't have much experience with this EM.)
(If you like try Tenex LMK.)
This testing of ammo, every rifle is different and probably everything I said above may not be true in your rifle..........
PS: LMK about how the 0.041" headspace shoots.
Curious on how to see your barrel shoots a tight headspace.
Spoke to Steve Boelter, and he's sending me a 0.041" and 0.040" gauge...
He says some match chamber/barrels shoot better at these specs......... (he told me to get 0.044, 0.043, and 0.042, but not 0.041 or 0.040)
