[QUOTE="D$tring, post: 2372832, member: 114263"] I had a 6.5-284 that loved the 140s at either a significant jump, like .150 or better or at that .025-.030 range. Anything less than that or in between those was a larger group. Most of my rifles are in the .020-.030 jump range (if the magazine will allow) with the modern low drag bullets. I would stick in the .020-.025 range and shoot again on a different day. And start by shooting a rifle and load you know is good—that will get your confidence up and let you know where you are with technique etc on that particular day. If your groups are on point with that known rifle, then switch and shoot this one. If your groups are a little more open on your known shooter, then either allow a little wider margin on this rifle as you verify, or choose to verify on another day. it doesn’t take much variation from the shooter for a group to jump open or much variation in environmental condition to open a group up. FWIW .63 MOA is pretty good. I always shoot for .5 moa as a standard. I bet the groups tighten up as the barrel breaks in over the next 50-100 rounds. [/QUOTE]
