[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 1981769, member: 20643"] Well I did a seating depth window test yesterday morning at 580 yds for my 300 norma improved retumbo load with 230 bergers. Used a 600 yd fclass center, 3" xring and 6" 10 ring. All my testing is done off a modular evolution bipod and a armageddon gear game changer lite fill bag. I knew .020 off hammered so i decided to shoot .023 off first before the wind picked up. Shot .023 off and the group was 1.4". Went back into the shop and loaded 3 up at .020 off. First two shots went right into the group of .023 off. While letting the barrel cool for the 3rd shot the wind picked up a hair and sent the 3rd shot to the right a hair. Went back and loaded up .017 off. First shot hit the left side of the x ring. I aimed at the left side of the x ring for the next two shots and they landed into the main group. Total of 2.387"/.39 moa vertical for the combined 9 shots. Not bad for getting off the rifle every 3 shots. .017 off had 1.392"/.229 moa vertical, .020 off had .823"/.135 moa vertical and .023 off had 1.19"/.195 moa vertical. Being able to plot every shot with a Targetvision camera is priceless. So I loaded some up at .020 off and took the rifle out this morning to 810 yds to confirm drops seeing as 580 was a hair high. First shot went a hair over the target and on the left side of it. Being able to watch the vapor trail allowed me to follow it all the way to the target and see where it missed. I came down .1 mil for the next shot and it hit the top left of the target. Came down another .1 mil and over to the right .2 mil. Next two shots went into the same splash on the steel plate and perfect up and down. 3rd shot went 2-3" low and right of the first two. Happy with the vertical and group.
