[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 339703, member: 20245"] Your being a little hard on yourself... Relax and have fun. As for some tips, get your trigger adjusted, action skim bedded, and barrel recrowned. You said you lasered the target at 397yards, does your rangefinder have a built in angle cosign indicator? Or did it give you a "laser" distance to the target? You have to compensate for the angle of the shot. I know ballistic FTE has a function for that. You can hold your iPhone/iTouch against the barrel when aiming at the target to get the correct angle. This would explain the overshooting by 6". Also, like .280fan said, load the bergers out a lot longer. Load them touching the lands or for ease of extraction load them as close as you can to the rifling without touching it. And finaly, get out and shoot! By the way, you have a beast of a scope. -Oliver [/QUOTE]
