Hands on accuracy testing at the range at a distance of 200m with the Sig Sauer Cross Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor shooting Hornady Custom International 140g spire points. Today the wind was a mild to moderate 24km/h with gusts up to 35km/h, the Sig Cross still performing well over the longer distance.

In this video I’m trying out something a little different. I’ve found these interesting ball bearing tip projectiles from an Australian company called Outer Edge Projectiles. I’ve bought some of their 57gr .224 projectiles and loaded them up for my Tikka T3X Hunter in stainless steel fluted barrel to see how they perform at the range, both on a paper target at 100m and on a steel target at 200m. I don’t have a chronograph unfortunately, so I can’t measure the velocities of the projectiles. The energy results on my BIS Alloy 500 steel (AR 500 equivalent) were surprising. If you would like to support my channel and perhaps help me get a chronograph and other equipment to share in future videos please feel free to donate at my patreon page here: https://patreon.com/MD799 Here is a link to the Outer Edge Projectiles website: https://outeredgeprojectiles.com.au

Hands on accuracy testing at the range with the Sig Sauer Cross Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor part 3. Comparing the performance of 5 factory cartridge offerings at 100 meters, Hornady 143gr ELD-X, Hornady Custom International 140gr SP, Barnes VOR-TX LR (Long Range) 127gr, Sako TRG Precision 136gr and Norman Scirocco II 130gr. The Sig Cross bolt rifle is stock standard apart from a Vortex Viper 3-15x44 First Focal Plane (FFP) scope, and a Magpul MLOK picatinny rail to attach a bi-pod. Today though I decided to shoot from a bag.

In this follow up video I take the Sig Sauer Cross Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor using Horandy ELD-X 143gr Hunter ammunition out to 200m and shoot a 16mm BIS Alloy, AR500 equivalent, steel target for a bit of fun.

Comparing the performance of 3 factory cartridge offerings at 100 meters, Hornady 143gr ELD-X, Remington Core-lokt 140gr SP and Norman Scirocco II 130gr. The bolt rifle is stock standard apart from a Vortex Viper 3-15x44 First Focal Plane (FFP) scope, and a Magpul MLOK rail to attach a bi-pod.

Shooting Sauer 100 Pantera 6.5 PRC at the range to a distance of 200m using the Hornady 143gr ELD-X ammunition.

This is some footage I pulled together from out on the range shooting at an AR500 steel plate at 200m using a number of different ammo types before Covid Lockdowns.

Out at the range putting some shots through paper at 100m, and knocking some steel at 200m.

Nice sunny day for ringing some steel. This is 3 quick shots with my Tikka T3x 223 with a 22" barrel shooting some Hornady TAP Urban 55gr ammunition. Very accurate with this round. Also note my cheap saw horse adapted into a steel target mount. I've since removed the excess chain. Works a treat.

Short video shooting some 223 rounds down range.

Quick clip shooting my Sauer 100 Pantera in 6.5 PRC at the range during high cross winds. Shot was taken at 50m during sighting in. Quick sight in at 50m then out to 100m for zero using the Burris Eliminator 3 scope. Hoodie over my head because it was cold in the wind!
