[QUOTE="300remum, post: 784084, member: 24626"] thank you very much Jon! i'm from Sherbrooke, Quebec. thank's for the tips on shooting techniques. for load development i shoot from the bench with sand bags in the front and the back. i will try to find a rabbit ear bag for the back if you think it might help. i'm left hand shooter. when i'm satisfied with the load. ( which is normally when it shoots under moa all the time) i start practicing at distance up to 600 yard from prone/bipod. then i use only the bipod as it is all i carry in the field while hunting. so far i've limited myself to 450 yard while hunting. my longest shot is 409y on a caribou. i will extend my range only when my practice shows i'm ready. it's my first small caliber, varmint type rifle. so i'm thrilled to get those results so early on. i've never had a rifle shoot around .5" average before. but i know there's always room for improvement, and the result some of you guys get here is impressive. but i also understand that i wil eventuallyl be limited by the 550$ factory rifle also. i can't expect it to shoot like a multi thousand $ gun either. as far as changing only one thing at a time during load development i tought it's what i was doing. i changed only the powder charge in the initial test. and on the second time out, i changed only COAL. but maybe i dont get this right? thank's again [/QUOTE]
