[QUOTE="ptb, post: 1894893, member: 102697"] So I have read this with great interest. Is the OP unhappy with the group size or the ES? His groups were not MOA but, can’t that happen cuz the rifle is finicky and hasn’t found what it “likes” yet?? I am currently trying to dial in a Tikka .308 and have had a bear of a time getting a tight group. Have easily shot 130 rounds and just now feel like I am on to something good. Tried all the magic powders (varget, Re15 ect) and crappy groups. Tried 5 powders 3 different bullet types and weights. Crappy group after crappy group. Wanted to smash the rifle. Finally got the the right combo. Have had 3 other rifles that took 20 rounds to dial in and guess I took for granted that all rifles would dial in that painlessly. I am by no means an expert and bow to many of the members expertise, but couldn’t this be a load issue and not mechanical? Anyway always enjoy learning and listening. I feel your pain OP, I have been so angry and frustrated trying to chase a group thinking I got a lemon and I just didn’t have the right combo. [/QUOTE]
