[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 439992, member: 3533"] Shot more groups with the Black Hills 168 grain Match ammo and with my current pet load, virgin 308 Lapua Brass, 44.5gr of Varget 165 SST loaded 0.09 off the lands at 2.766 OAL. First two groups of the handloads were 0.8 MOA to the left of center target--readjusted the turret to bring the next group dead center. Average of three, three shot groups was 0.8 MOA with virgin brass and Federal 210M primers... The Black Hills Match rounds are averaging a little over 1 MOA currently at 100 yards. All the stringing is horizontal on both sets of rounds... The veritcal dispersion of all the groups I shot yesterday was around 0.4MOA. It was somewhat gusty at 100 yards (my LR land is in the middle of muzzleloader season and I don't want to be messing up someone's hunt), but I don't think that's a huge contributor. I had 14 shots total with the handload - getting on target after cleaning and I let my son shoot some rounds as well--that were recorded by the Chrono. My ES is 11 and average is 2726 I had an extreme spread of 40fps because one shot was around 2690fps...without this shot the ES is 22... I try to emulate Darryl Holland's (Originially typed Sean Carlock--my bad memory...) video on sight picture and keeping my cheek weld in the same spot. Also I had a very stable platform so I'm wondering if my 2.5-10 scope has any issues with parallax at 100yds or not? I have had enought range time in the last two months and dry firing at home to say that I had literally no flinches yesterday when working on those three groups and the BH match groups...got relaxed very early in the process...it was almost effortless. That said, the ammo seems to be working pretty well, but the groups are not what I expect...perhaps the shooter is still the problem--trigger control is good, cheek weld is okay, but what about my sight picture etc...do I just need better mag to get tighter groups? I eliminated most of my thump-thump jiggle from my heart and my breathing control seems much better as well...I think maybe I don't like my grip either...maybe I'm not as consistent here--maybe too relaxed? Gripping harder might help? Sorry for the train of thought typing, just trying to get my thoughts on paper (electrons)... Matt will post pics when I'm back at the house. [/QUOTE]
