Howa Fluted 223 Last Chance Test
Following on from the previous load testing video, there was a powder charge that looked hopeful, so I loaded up 25 rounds to test.
This is the result ....

Howa Fluted 223 Load Testing
มุมมอง 13621 วันที่ผ่านมา
Starting off the new year with some load development work on my fluted Howa 223. This is the barrel I thought I might have burnt out, and it's still not holding groups, so thought I'd try with different projectile weights to see if there's something it likes. If I can't find, and hold, a decent group, it might just have to become a donor action for a future project. It's in a KRG Bravo stock, w...
Last shoot of 2024 - 223's vs Clays
มุมมอง 170หลายเดือนก่อน
Final visit to the range for 2024, so I thought I'd try shooting clays with the 223's, being the Wedgetail, and the Howa "Trainer". Distances are 50m for the Wedgetail, and 100m for the Howa, but we'll do this again in 2025 with longer distances. Thanks for supporting the channel this year, I hope you enjoyed the content as much as I did making it. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a safe N...
Marlin 30-30 Tactical - 160gr FTX vs 175gr Sub-X Comparison
มุมมอง 96หลายเดือนก่อน
Quick video on the two loads I have for the Marlin 30-30 Tactical, using 160gr FTX and 175gr Sub-X. It's less of a comparison between the two, as they're not really comparable, and more of the grouping (and drop) using the same distance, and same zero for both. Not sure what the practical use for the Sub-X is, maybe cowboy style shooting, but it sure is fun !! Thanks for watching !

The CZ 455 MSR was my first CZ, purchased back in 2019, and one I haven't been able to part with. I've got some new parts coming, but as it stands, it's the CZ 455 action, with the standard CZ MSR Carbon wrapped barrel, sitting in a MDT LSS-RF (rimfire) chassis, topped with a Vortex Venom 5-25x56 scope, and attached to my trusty Accu-Tac SR5 G2 bipod.

Quick first shot video using Hornady's 175gr Sub-X projectiles for the 30-30. These are loaded using the new ADI tables, and have a muzzle velocity of approx 1063 FPS. Not going to lie, I was rather hesitant shooting the first one, as I wasn't even sure it would exit the barrel, but I'm still here, and will be reloading a LOT more of this in the future !

มุมมอง 2223 หลายเดือนก่อน
Following on from my last 65CM video, in which I decided I needed to spend more time behind this rifle, I ran a longer string of 5 round groups at 100m from the bench, to see if I work towards tightening up there groups, before playing with the powder load I'm using, the powder being ADI's 2206H I think it helped, so I'll continue on this path for a bit longer, and see what results I can get.

Wedgetail MPR Mini 223 - Fiocchi 60gr EPN Quick Test
มุมมอง 2223 หลายเดือนก่อน
Grabbed some Fiocchi 60gr EPN ammunition at the recent SSAA Shot Expo in Melbourne, so ran a quick test to see how this grouped, as previous tests haven't gone well with heavier projectiles. Happy to say 60gr shot well on this initial test, so well see how this goes. Thanks for watching.
Wedgetail MPR Mini 223 - New Scope Zero & Test
มุมมอง 4383 หลายเดือนก่อน
With the new Zerotech 1-6 LPVO fitted, along with all the other parts, it's off to the range to zero and test, using Fiocchi 55gn EPN ammunition. Started at 25m to get on paper, moved to 50m, and then out to 100m, which will likely be my zero going forwards, unless I bring to back to 50m for a more ISPC style setup.

Continuing the prone theme with the 65CM at 100m. While I'm not unhappy with the group sizes, there is room for these to be tighter, either by spending more time behind the rifle, from a bit of load development, or both, so we;ll explore that in future videos.

Why not side mount the red dot ?
@@seanfrazer4589 the scope mount I got had a pic rail built into the top of the rings, otherwise I would. The red dot is currently on the lever action, but if I take it off, I will try side mounting it on the Wedgetail.
Me parece que son pruebas innecesarias y ridícula. Podrá impresionar a quien recién comirnza co un 22 hace 50 años que uso este calibre ya pegar a 100 es. Una hazaña distancia ideal 80 metros todos hacen pruebas con cartones o papeles quisiera que con la facilidad y traquilidsd que hacen esta prueba filmen una cacería matando por. Lo. Menos una liebre a esa misma distsncia si están seguros presenten pruebas
on the "4 oclock" shot ,it actually HIT the target ,and bounced back.
Thanks @@johngardner2807 ! Nice to know I’m not completely useless with the rifle 🤣
My thoughts on the bolt coming out of battery would be wedgetail putting a bolt lock similar to the 7615 or like other pump action firearms

I’ll have to keep an eye out for you next time I’m at the range and say gday😊

@@Its_range_day It's FUN & thats what life is supposed to be
@@johnfewson9755 Yes it is.
Had mine for a month, couldn't wait to move it on, terrible accuracy, jamming all the time and that trigger at 5 pounds is nothing short of crap and all that for 4k heaps of better options out there, even the 7615 tricked up a bit is far more accurate and reliable and way more $$$ friendly.
@@garybalasa3158 that’s unfortunate and thankfully hasn’t been my experience to date, so fingers crossed it doesn’t change.
Hi Gary, sorry you have had that trouble. I checked our records and we haven't heard from you regarding any problems with the rifle you purchased. Are you able to please contact us using the details on our website? We are very keen to resolve any issues. Where did you pay $4,000 for the MPR Mini? The RRP is $2,950. Looking forward to hearing from you - Richard
my Howa hates 168 grain bullets, but does great with 175
@@poppasquat8483 might have to try some 175’s, and see how that goes, as I haven’t found it’s sweet spot yet.
@@Its_range_day went through 7 different brands till I found mine. PPU Match 175 gets me 0.17 MOA three shot groups
@ I’ll have to find some, and try it !!
SCA Taipan is junk, Wedgetail MPR a bit better if you can put up with the 5 pound trigger or spend another grand for an after market one, had both wouldn't touch either brand again unless some serious design changes were made, I'm all for supporting Aussie made but only if it's worth the support. Went back to the Warwick and realised just how much better the quality and function is, its one thing to beg for Aussie support but how about putting something on the table worth supporting.
@@garybalasa3158 I’ve shot the Taipan, and prefer the Wedgetail. I haven’t shot the Warwick or the OP, so I can’t really comment, but if there’s anyone who wants to lend me one, or both, for a head to head comparison, let me know.
What kinda velocity you gettin outta those rounds? Nice video man!
@@tommy.22lr Thank you ! Last time I ran these through a chrono it was a little over 3000fps.
@Its_range_day dang man those things are cookin!
The zerotech LPVO is SFP isn't it ? not FFP ? How do you find it ? Great videos on the Wedgetail Mini btw, really helpful
@@desp6238 yes it is SFP. I prefer FFP, but the glass is very clear, and the reticle good, if a little small …. But that’s probably me being used to FFP’s. Thanks, there are more to come on the Wedgetail.
Don't see them very often so you might be able to answer, is the windowed PMAG 10/30 actually useful? I just assumed youd get a view of the pin and blockout that sits in the bottom of the mag through it. Unless ofc its an actual PMAG 30 in which case, never mind.
@@BTechUnited TBH, not really. I got it on a whim when I picked up the rifle, and I personally think the 10 shot PMAG’s that come with it are too short, so I thought I’d try it. There’s a mid version I like the length of, but they’re pricey, so value wise the standard 10 shot ones are hard to beat.
@Its_range_day Interesting, in my experience the 10/30s were more expensive than the 10/20s, but your mileage may vary. Of course, I have the mags but still waiting on my MPR to actually use them! Thanks for the reply.
@@BTechUnited best I’ve found for the 10/30 or the 10/20 was $90, which hurts the wallet compared to the $31 I’ve seen the standard PMAG going for. If you know where I can get the 10/20’s cheaper, let me know !!
@@Its_range_day Sadly not, I misread your comment and thought you found the 30 rounders to be cheaper than the 20s. Both are absolutely ludicrous compared to the 10 rounder sadly.
What ammo works well for yours
@@Adamsadowy Fiocchi 55EPN works pretty well, and their 60gr seemed to group too, but I need to do more testing on that.
Thanks for the videos mate I have ordered one due late January if I’m lucky can’t wait to set her up I only briefly held one at shop but looks and feels a lot nicer than the taipan x
@Adamsadowy, I love mine, and I'm sure you will too !!
When did you order yours
@@adamsandler9078 I ordered mine in April/May.
@ first weeks of November apparently the shop only gets 10 at a time and there must be a fair few in front of mine - annoying but what can you do , fingers crossed it arrives in January and no delays

Hii, can you do a video showing howa 308 groups?
@real.presets absolutely. Haven't shot the 308 in a while, so I'll get it out this weekend !
@Its_range_day thank you so much
Great video mate! I just paid for mine today! I know Wedgetail said you can take the rails off on the handguard, if you wanted to run it on the bag, could you take the bottom rail off, meaning the action woudl be protected by the rail in the bottom. It would effectively turn it into a weird straight pull (on a bag at least) but could be an option?
Thanks Declan ! I had thought about that, but as you say, wasn't sure how the action would work if I did. I'll be testing the Magpul Vertical Rail Grip in a coming video, so if that's not much help, I'll try taking there bottom rail off, and see what happens.
No eye pro?
@@RuckinBrit Probably should have, and will be going forwards, especially with this one.
which sight is being used ?
@@dereklyle6589 Just the standard, slightly adjustable, rear, along with the sliding front sight for elevation.
The rifle has800meters effective range
@@lloydlaurance8981 then I’m glad I don’t have access to an 800m rage, as I wouldn’t hit the target at that range either 😉
I know it's just a pretend version of what we all really want, but damn do i still want one. Looks absolutely gorgeous.
@@SuperAdventureR1301 Sure is, and its a lot of fun to shoot ! I’m still getting used to it, as it’s easy to slip it out of battery accidentally, so you click, as opposed to bang. Caught an example of this on a video I’m editing at the moment.
Is it available to NSW shooters???
@@Blinkybills sadly I don’t believe so.
Thanks! I ordered one 6 weeks ago, no idea how much longer it can take. Do u mind if I ask how long did you wait for yours? Thanks a lot
@@BenowaSi I was one of the original pre-orders, which I think I placed at the end of April, early May. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer for you, but it’s well worth the wait !!

Great video :) Just a quick question, My rifle will be arriving soon, and I just wanted to know where you got the magazine from?
@@zooze2001 it’s a full size magazine, but restricted to 10 rounds. I got it from my local store, being Gun Emporium, but your local store should be able to order them in. There’s also a mid version, which I’m thinking about getting, still only 10 rounds, but between this one, and the PMAG’s that come in the box, in size.
What ammo ?
