[QUOTE="Decay, post: 658563, member: 49051"] thank for the early replies. I know there is a lot of stuff to shoot very good at that distance. I am treating this as a journey not a destination. Like the old saying goes give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day...teaching a man to fish will feed him for a lifetime. I am looking for guidance on what to look for (i.e. bullet stabilization, groups at XXX yds, ect) My trigger is set as light as it can go from the factory. 2.5# I believe. I downloaded and used the shooter app to get my drop charts and that got me very close to the target. The factory muzzle brake is installed so i do not know what the crown looks like. I will upgrade the optics later this year...probably before game season this fall. I also figured i would hang around the 600 range for a while. Should I focus on grouping at that distance? Initially I thought that the best group at 100 would be the best at 1000...I am guessing that is incorrect because I often run well below max pressure. I am also new to reloading and do not know enough about pressures to push anything. are there any "go to" readings on this topic that I should check out? Because I assume (beginners thinking) that the faster the bullet the longer it will stabilize? Wouldn't that possibly make it more sporadic at shorter ranges? [/QUOTE]
