Back in May, I asked for help in reforming .284 rem. Brass to 6.5x.284 brass. I had ordered a Cooper Model 22 Phoenix and had found a great price on new .284 Brass. Anyway, "Ol'Joe", "redneck2" and "esheato" gave me some advice, and last weekend I finally got around to working on some brass. Then Wed. I got a call from my dealer saying that the Cooper was in. I picked it up on Thurs, put a 6 x 18 scope on it, and started to shoot it on Friday. I took my time and broke it in as Cooper advised. I shot it again Sat. morning, and again, this afternoon. I was using Reloader 22, and Sierra 142 gr. Match kings, along with Federal Match primers. The last two groups that I shot this afternoon were .314 and .186. Both 3 shot groups at 100 yds. I think I shall enjoy this gun.
Thanks guys for the help.
BTW: The best group that I have managed to shoot with my Jackson Squirrel Rifle in .17 Mach II is .320; a five shot group at 50 yds. Apparently those guys at Cooper are onto something.
