To be honest the bullets didn't group that well at first about 1 MOA but after increasing the load above max(which is quite low to begin with) they would shoot a perfect clover shape at 100 yards everytime. 300 yards was about 3 MOA. Do some experimenting with the OAL and grains, you will find a good combo.

Did you mean 3 INCHES at 300 yards? That would actualy be 1 MOA.

3 MOA (or 3 minutes) at 300 yards would be about a 9 inch group... I'm assuming that your gun shoots a little better than that.

Yes, my bad. 3 inches at 300 yards.

Great Job! I am intrigued after reading your posts. You are right, an elk hunt costs as much as your 5 animal trophy hunt .
I'd like to talk with you about your hunt and experience in Africa
