[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 916519, member: 2011"] Shot 3 @ 610 this morning. Temp was 5 degrees w/10 MPH wind @ ~25% value. Shooting pad was on a little snow and it was too darn cold to achieve a good shooting position. I simply couldn't get "just right". To the extent that the third shot put a ding on the bridge of my nose. Just sayin I didn't expect a great group. Group was a bit over 1 MOA and I held 1/4 MOA too much into the wind. None the less all shots went in the 8.5" X 11" paper. All holes were round. Shooter called for 5.8 MOA guestimate of center group was 0.75 MOA high. However, the group didn't give great confidence thus I'll give it another go around 800. Hopefully I'll be a better shooter that day. I'm finding seating the point to be critical. Too much point seating pressure shows a little meplat expansion. Additionally, bullet trim length variations are easily seen after the point is seated. A few thou makes a big difference. I'm fearing that additional shock wave. . .:roll eyes: Accuracy looks good enough, even when I shoot badly, to do some terminal testing @ distance. (as soon as it warms up a bit). Darn near got frost bite walking out to and back from 600 yards. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
