[QUOTE="paphil, post: 552746, member: 17745"] A few months ago I had a gun rebarreled in 6.5-284 and worked up a good load for it. It could shoot 4 shot groups at less than 1/2 inch at 300 yards. Believe me, you could see spin drift with that gun. I killed 4 groundhogs at 1175 to 1206 yards and used only 5 shots. A couple of months later, I joined the Harry Jones 1000 yard club and shot a 4.21 inch 5 shot group. ( think they have some gimmic the first time you shoot to give you a good group so you get hooked!) Haven't shot that well since but I don't think it is the shooter as much as good equipment. The gun is a long action Sendero with a Hart Barrel topped with a Huskemaw scope. And I do coach shooting as an instructor with BOTW. My goal is to share what I know with anyone that will listen. Canting my scope 2 degrees works for me to eliminate spin drift. Verifying that the crosshairs align with the erector mechanism are an important part of that process. For most people, this is rocket science and they don't want to fool with it but there are some who will understand and try it. [/QUOTE]
