Tooks a small portion of my rifle battery out yesterday for a Zero check session. A 6mm-06 built by R.W. Hart (700 long action, Hart barrel, heavy, HS stock) 6.5 x 20 Leupold, my G-A Pres. M40A1 clone 308 3.5 x 10 Leupold, my newly acquired used Rem 40X 308 10X leupold. and "The Monkey Blaster" (soon to be renamed "The Kicking Bastard" Rem 700 sendero look-a-like in 375 H&H 3.5 x 10 Leupold. All from a bipod and sand sock off the ground (hunting position for me).
I shot some 5 shot groups for Zero confirmation, nothing too fancy just a quick check;
100 yards
6mm-06 - .529" (107 Sierra MK)
M40A1 308 - .910" (155 Lapua Scenar)
40X 308 - .894" (Fed GMM 168)
The Monkey Blaster - 1.103" (270 Nosler Accubond)
600 yards data collection effort.
6mm-06 7.17" group. Furthest round from Point Of Aim (POA) 4.7", closest to POA 2.55"
375 H&H 10.1" group. Furthest round from POA 9", closest 3.75" (horizontal displacement) I used 2.5 MOA (R) of wind, a little too much
300 mile round trip for that shooting event!! My wife says I should have a tattoo on the back of my head stating "Insert brain here..."
