Lmao... you guys are .
But, I forgot about this thread as I’m not progressing as I thought I would. Although, I should update the good and the bad. I’ll see what I can do tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder.

Allow me to translate:

Grouping was good about 3” at 1000. The group was in the 9 ring too however the guys target i was hitting was three lanes over so that probably doesn’t count.

Just messing around brother I could not hit crap at that distance. Just crazy

Lmao....

Haven’t had it that far out yet. Furthest distance so far is 300yds and although it wasn’t a bad day, the rifle wasn’t performing as I think it can. I would get three shots touching and then the last two would be two inches to the right and up. I could not get five shots to group worth a sh%t. Since that weekend I have changed out the scope rings to better quality rings and also, changed out the the muzzle brake. The brake I had on there was for a .308 semiauto. I purchased the correct brake for 6.5 Creedmoor. The scope rings I had on there (grabbed from the spare parts drawer) were quick release units and I believe they might of been moving during recoil. The third thing was, I’m still figuring out what cartridge this rifle likes. So far it’s looking like the best groups are from Hornady ELD Match 140gr pills. I have not shot it since the changes so, no update on how it’s shooting right now. Here are some target pics from the last outings.

Might be a dumb question but how high over the target do you shoot to even hot paper at 1000? I can’t even guess


Groups look good though really

Depends on a lot of variables so, there is no simple answer to your question. Plus, you dial in your elevation on your scope. Therefore, you are aiming center mass.

I know you'd like to do better but I don't think I'd b!tch too much about that, especially since you're really still getting acclimated to the set-up and figuring some things out as well as changing out some things. A lot of variables to figure out.

Keep us posted bud !

BTW, what ground pad is that you're using?

[Caleb]

Thanks bud. I’m using a MidwayUSA shooting Matt. Runs about $30-40 depending on sales or what not. It’s nice and worth the money.
