It was my first 5 shots cleaning between each shot! Let's just say I was happy! It's a lr308

looking good. I did barrel break in last weekend. Going to try some different loads this weekend. Hope I find that magic one.
Damnit! you guys ruined my fundamentals! Ive gone shooting twice trying to get this, and I have great 3rd groups, but progressively get tighter and tighter behind the gun as I shoot trying to force the gun to stay put!!
Of course this does not work, thats why I have real close 3 shot holes and two fliers off somewhere else.
my last session I got 4 groups of 5 under 1moa, one was by the skin of my teeth @ 1.039" then 1.28, .781, .937, 1.187, 1.156, 1.250, .784 and a pathetic 1.437
measuring the 1st 3 shots all groups except the last were between .3 and .75", I have to get a new cord for my camera, I have no clue where it is so I cant move the pic of the target to my comp to upload. Its on the way from amazon so I will post pics in a few days.
I just spent an hour prone in my living room trying to undue the "damage" dry firing, staying relaxed with a good natural poa on a pin I stuck in the wall.

Thanks thats good advice, I didnt realize thats what I was doing until after the last time I shot, I thought to myself "man my hand has really hurt after shooting the last two times" thats when I realized I was trying to kung Fu grip of death my pistol grip, and really bearing down on the rifle to keep the other shots in that same tight group as the first 3.
I need to accept that I wont be getting the same tiny groups with 5rds. Realistically my gun is at best a .5 moa shooter with 5rds, and more like .75-1moa avg, Still pretty darn good for any gun let alone a frankengun AR-15.
Like I said I will be uploading the pics when I get my camera cord, and I will most likely go out this weekend to re assert proper fundamentals and do better at this damned challenge!
Oh I want to ask how are most of you shooting these groups? I do it prone on the cement floor of the shooting range with a Harris Bipod.
