Guess what I did today and I had a few issues but all in all I have to say. <thumbsup> <thumbsup> :banana: :banana:
First lets talk issues today it was raining plus I had an scope issue on top of that. The scope issue was the mount came loose so I fixed that and took 3 shots with some Winchester 180 gr. soft points and they were way high for that heavy of a bullet and normally they shoot way low on the target so I new I lost my zero. So now I,m out of sight in ammo and only have my test rounds left so I took a WAG at the settings and fired 1 shot with the 2.182" ammo and hit high right in the 8 ring. I wanted the rounds to hit a little lower so I made 1 more adjustment to the scope and started testing.
So the first group only has 4 rounds because of the scope issue but was still able to get great results.
Conditions for the day: 68*, overcast, raining so no chronograph today.
Target pic
The 3 shots together on the first target measured at .437" and over all .945" so I should have my sub moa load back.
So the lessened learned through all this is my rifle likes consistent pressure as in the amount the bullet is seated in the case vs. the amount of jump it has to make to the lands and I'll be measuring the length of my bullets for now on.
