Website Updates 12-2-2019

Happy Cyber Monday! We don’t sell anything here at The Ballistic Assistant, but we know there’s some pretty awesome deals to be had, don’t forget to check out Brownells, Midway USA, JD Guns N’ Gear and others.

This past week we released a few write ups, mostly dealing with our Pawn Shop 30-06. We were able to mount the scope base and take it out for some range time.

Before we can start to improve accuracy we need to establish a baseline, something to work from. Here’s how we go about doing that.

Pawn Shop 30-06: Accuracy Testing – Baseline

We used Remington Hog Hammer loaded with Barnes 168gr TSX bullets. Having done plenty of testing with Barnes bullets, I know that the bullets can perform. So how did the rest of the load do?

We continue to work on the 3D Printer. Progress is likely going to slow down over the holidays, but we are working to get this thing built. Here we did the machining on the Y and Z Axis Lead Screws.

We’ve has a few pretty decent snow events over the last few days and it’s been fairly cold. As weather allows will be a few more trips to the range in the coming weeks as we need to sight in the VZ-58 and do some trigger work on the Pawn Shop 30-06.

We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season so far, as always, if there’s questions or comments you can email me directly at jayandrew338@gmail.com or check us out on Facebook.
