250 grain FTX with Lil Gun
Posted: Sat May 02, 2020 4:37 am
Picked up a box of 250 gr FTX and a pound of Lil Gun Thursday. Worked up some loads and hit the range yesterday. Long story short, 33.7 grains and 34.1 grains produced the best groups so far. I need to go up a bit on the charges as I'm getting a bit of soot at the mouth of the case. 33.7 grains yielded 2129 fps and grouped three into 1.003" at 75 yards. 34.1 averaged 2114 fps but only grouped three into 1.139". My replacement stock finally arrived that has the varmint weight barrel channel so the barrel is free floated all the way back to the barrel nut. The original stocks barrel channel was tight on the barrel even though I opened it up as much as I could. Groups should get even better now.
