[QUOTE="Alaska2006, post: 1227806, member: 92741"] Jeff I have modeled this rifle much after the holy grail you shot. Think I've read most posts and comments you've shared on the 300 win. The rifle has shot some unbelievable groups i just cant repeat them. I was shooting at 100yrds and will not brag because I cannot repeat the results. But this rifle shot 5 into one ragged hole, easily covered with a 300 win case head. I was sure we we're headed for the big times. That was the 4th group of load development 77.5 gr H1000. I raced to the reloading bench and carefully cranked out 10 more to confirm my success only to be humbled. the range has a way of humbling a man. As I checked and re-checked the rifle and torqued screws I could find nothing. I still had the original cases un molested from the amazing group so I weight and measured each case so I could duplicate. No luck so I wrote off the great group as an accident and moved on with load development. I ran into another sweet group at 78.5 gr H1000. not as good as the previous load but good at .325 ish. Again Ive not been able to repeat that. I had read where perhaps these bullets are not fully stabilized at 100yrds so I started shooting at 200 yrds which is somewhat depressing when looking at groups until you actually do the math. Still they are not what I consider good groups. the only thing I have changed which I have not changed back is the target. The revelation just hit me last night while sitting that the reloading bench scratching my head. The good groups were shot using a white target with a 1" orange dot. The poor targets are all shot using a brown target with a 2" bull. I'm thinking the bull is too large for me to get a good zero. Does this seem crazy or just an excuse because I cant shoot for crap? The target is really the only thing I have not duplicated right down to weather conditions. [/QUOTE]
