Hey guys, I seem to have the worse luck buying expensive rifles... I just bought a new Christensen Arms travers in 300 win mag havnt fired a shot out of it yet but seem to have a heck of an issue feeding rounds from the internal magazine. sometimes it takes palm strikes on the bolt to get it...

Ok back to the range this evening. I didn’t have time to stretch it out but I did validate that I was still on at 100 yards. Also shot 3 different type of ammo, ballistic silver tip shot 2 moa, Barnes ttsx shot 2 moa however the accubond shot 0.5 moa, I’ll attach a pic below of one of my 3 shot...

WOW.. so many helpful replies, I think im heading back out this evening for a rematch, lol.. To answer the question about cant, I haven't checked level, I had Cabela's install the scope so assumed they leveled it properly (they said they would) but I was shooting off a bipod and a rear bag...

Going to try again with follow through this weekend, it is a light rifle, browning stainless stalker with a Leupold vx5hd coming in at just over 7lbs. 300wsm no break.

Impacts were all around the rock, a couple high, a couple to either side and a couple low. all between 6 inched to 1 ft off the rock.

Muzzle velocity input was 2975 (average of 5 shots) with the slowest being 2971 and the fastest being 2979. ballistic coefficient input was 0.507 Impacts were all around the rock, a couple high, a couple to either side and a couple low. all between 6 inched to 1 ft off the rock.

Were didn't see impact as it happened but were able to account for nearly every shot in the dirt around the target.

That certainly sounds like this gun as well, In fact I had a different scope on it last year (trijicon accupoint) and bought the VX-5 because I couldn't get decent groups past 300 then.. tho the Leupold has got me a little further, it could be due to the grater magnification maybe? Perhaps...

Thank you, I think we may retry this weekend. Yes it was 650, well 647 to be exact on my Gunwerks br2500. I’m going to try to attach a rock I shot at 410 yards below just before attempting 650. That’s around 3.5 inches, I should have shot another but I didn’t.

All we had were a set of 10x Binos with us. As silly as it sounds the gun firing made the person with the binos jump just enough to not see impact.

Barrel may have been hot, we had just fired 10 rounds or so at 400 yards. If I could find a smith to do it, I have a carbon wrapped barrel installed but they don’t seem to like working with Browning’s.

No not that day, it was later in the evening after it started to cool down a little.

Imagian a v and I’m shooting across the narrow part of the v where it steps down in benches if your Familiar with the way strip mines bench slopes when they put them in.

It’s a reclaimed strip mine, I wasn’t shoot across a deep canyon or anything.

I made a mental note that it was very calm, even the dust cloud from the bullet impact was lingering for a couple seconds, plus the impacts seemed to move all around not just to the left or right. Some high, some low, some left, some right type of deal.
