[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3066050, member: 127412"] Below are some targets from my last couple of range sessions. Rifle is a new Tikka CTR .308. This photo is factory Hornady 150 SST ammo I had laying around that I thought I’d throw down the pipe first as I didn’t have any test loads developed and I wanted to get some rounds through it first anyways. 10 shot group. Not bad for a new rifle and factory ammo. [ATTACH type="full"]556057[/ATTACH] Below is a 5, yes, 5 shot group derived from the ladder accuracy node method. I think I can do better than this so testing is ongoing. I have another 5 rounds of this exact load I will be shooting with others to verify. I’m waiting for weather to clear to resume testing. This group measured 0.540” CTC. [ATTACH type="full"]556059[/ATTACH] I’m happy with this honestly and I have something to fall back on if my next trial groups don’t pan out. I could have made groups of 20 rounds or 50 rounds or whatever. I gotta feed my kids too. My gut is telling me when I take this rifle hunting and taking shots of no more than 600ish (it is a .308 after all) I’m feeling pretty good with my chances hitting an animal….accurately. [/QUOTE]
