[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1100047, member: 91090"] 8" at 550 yards? how much long range shooting have you done? not bad really if you are just starting out. again what was the total group size. I always feel like vertical is mostly ammo and can be the gun and horizontal is mostly me. This can be a difficult process but if you break it down and eat the apple one bite at a time you can solve this dilemma. I would go ammo first and try to get the best reloads you can create. you will probably do load development for some time. Trying different bullets, powders and loads. Get some good practice during this period. next would be the rifle. Make sure it is free floated. vertical stringing is an obvious sign of barrel pressure. Last would be you. You probably like me need the most work. Try to do the same thing every time. the way you hold the gun. cheek pressure. trigger pull it is crazy. that is why you see those 1000 yrd benchrester free recoiling their guns. about the only thing touching the gun is their trigger finger and it is about a 2 oz trigger.
