[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2465714, member: 96226"] And now it's finally been shot. Spent Saturday breaking in 223rem/6xc/300wm barrels and making ~1/2MOA groups. The .223 barrel printed groups from .2moa 3-shot sets to a .7moa 20 shot group. The 300wm was shooting in the .1's& .2's with Terminal Ascent ammo... just stacking them up. The 6XC printed from .5moa to .7moa which I'm sure I can tighten up by just not shooting so fast. Here's the .223 target. I got a rough zero on some dirt clods and then took 4 zeroing shots on the target to get a workable POA/POI relationship. Then it was time for shots of record: 1 on the bottom red dot to validate my zero, then a 5-shot group in the center, then I went around the target from bottom in a clockwise fashion with 1 shot each and then put another 5 shots in the middle. I went through that routine 3 times which ended up with 20 shots in the center and 3 on the top and side dots and 4 on the bottom dot. Stupid accurate rifle. One thing I shouldn't have done is use my POA as my POI. The .223 and 300wm barrels share a zero down to the click. The .223 shoots a mil higher with half as much windage (based on mechanically centered windage and fully bottomed out elevation turrets) as the other 2.
