Went shooting... I was impressed!

[shortpants]

Leaving tomorrow to scout for an upcoming Antelope hunt. While I'm up there I'm going to complete the testing between these two loads. Also might test another since I got a box of it. I'm going to shoot at 400,600,800,& 1000yds. This will be my first official group at 1000. I've shot rocks that far but never groups. I painted up some plywood targets today. I can't wait!!! Keep ya posted.

You should be feeling pretty good about your rifle, your skills, and yourself about now.
Congrats.

Very nice shooting. Who says you can't do it with factory ammo AND on a budget too!

WildRose,
I appreciate all your kind words and great advice. I am quite pleased so far but also see room for improvement.

Buddy from what I see here about the only room for improvement is in the ammo dept.

For that you're going to either have to start loading your own or ship the rifle off to some custom loader to work you up a load and then load you a bunch.

MOA or less at these ranges with factory ammo is fantastic. Most people will never approach that even with handloads.

Congrats and feel free to gloat a little silently... .

I agree that group wise I will not do any better with this setup. It's getting all my drops to match perfectly and reading the wind so that I can make first round hits that I'm talking about. Trust me I'm very happy but also a perfectionist. Thanks again!
