[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 2231360, member: 94632"] I’ve been there. This is my approach after I have isolated my powder charge by a consistently low es. Large group at this stage means nothing: [LIST] [*]Torque everything to spec. Action, base, and rings. [*]Bore snake or similar a few times, dry patch to follow [*]Be hyper critical of shooting position [*]Dry fire 5x [*]Fire 1st shot with chronograph [*]Dry fire 5 x over 3-4 minutes to maintain position and allow consistent barrel temp [*]Fire 2nd shot [*]Dry fire 5x over 3-4 minutes [*]Repeat this process x 5 shots minimum (more is better) [*]On a separate aim point, after adjusting seating depth by 0.003-0.005” fire one, dry fire 5 then repeat x 5 [*]Rinse and repeat. Scrutinize your position between every trigger press, live or dry firing. Adjust the seating depth till you get “the group”. Then fire to validate at range. I fire every shot next to my chronograph. I can see my real ES. ES of 20 over 40 shots is awesome; way more than an es of 2 over 3 shots. Good luck with it. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
