No that doesn't help.. It helps a LOT ?
Fortunately a local shops has that same s&b on sale for $12/box, another shop is $16.95/box. Either way that's what you would pay for the least expensive brass cased.308 ammo at walmart, around $15-$17/box (yes I know we're talking about 6.5 creedmoor).
I shot my rifle for the 1st time last week. New rifle, new scope, scope base. And still, my first shots were about 4" left of dead center. Easy sighting in! I used Federal gold medal berger (130gr OTM I believe), and got a 7 round group within 5/8" @ 100 yards (see pic). My groups began to grow, although
1. I was pretty shaky that day,
2. The Magpul gen3 PRS stock is too long for me to get comfortable behind my rifle. Even with the stock fully closed. I am definitely selling it and getting a UBR adjustable stock.
3. When I got home and cleaned my barrel I noticed the scope mount and rings were all a little loose, enough that the mount had a slight wiggle.
So I am going to properly torque everything down before shooting next - I just got a Wheeler torque driver setup. MUCH more compact and easy to use over the 1.5 foot torque wrench I was trying to use that required adapter bits etc. What a pain that was ? . Definitely selling that mammoth of a torque wrench, too.
Next shoot I'll def use S&B.
I went to take the gen3 PRS stock offmy rifle and I have no idea what I'm doing. There is no manual online, no disassembly instructions, videos, or pages. Going to call Magpul. Arrrrrg
Worst group was 5 rounds within roughly 2". However it was my 1st time shooting it, the trigger (even though it's a Velocity trigger) has more creep than I would like and I was shooting a little quick, was very uncomfortable due to the stock so my posture was probably off, AND my scope was loose. Regardless, it's important to me to post my best and worst group to show the rifle's potential but to also show that I am human and I make mistakes. It never helps new shooters's self esteem when all they see are tight sub-moa groups from everyone online. Everyone makes mistakes and it takes practice with the right shooting habits to be able to shoot well consistently.
The end.
