I picked up my new rifle a few weeks ago (7mm rem mag) broke in the barrel, got my velocities and went to the range to zero at 200. She is shooting over a minute. I feel like I am getting fliers and cannot call the shots. I want to clean up the groups and thought I might ask for feedback in the hopes of narrowing down an area to focus on:
1. Me?
*PICTURES @ 200 yards*
*i was getting bi-pod hop on concrete with 7mm. The first pic is on bipod and the second is on bag... all prone.
*i picked up my 6.5 to check myself and the last two pics are the 6.5...all 6.5 shots are on bi-pod prone. Pic 3 is with a clean cold bore. Pic 4 is with an adjustment up 3/4 MOA.
2. Barrel does not like the ammo... looking for educated feedback... twist rate 1:9 Proof barrel 24".
*i do not reload. I gave the gunsmith a box of 162 gr ELDX and he put the lands at .7.
*i have done some reading and it seems guys are having successs with this ammo at .3?
*the 6.5 CM is shooting 142 gr eldx.
3. Highly sensitive stock? Manners EH 1A hunting stock
I would show how awesome the rifle looks but it don't matter until I get her shooting.
Much appreciated!
