[QUOTE="buckfvr, post: 1318901, member: 43353"] We all know all production rifles dont shoot the same, and certainly wouldnt conclude a poor shooting box rifle is on the shooter with out visible evidence of some sort. Each shooter has to discover his own technique based on his own results. Theres plenty of suggestions and guidelines to follow from accomplished shooters and you guys are certainly in understanding of it. I did a great deal of the original shooting of Joes RPR .243 as he works and Im retired and can shoot out to 300 yards from inside my shop on a bench rest through a shooting port......warm and dry inside while loading and shooting when it was nasty outside. So I shoot from the bench almost entirely and Joe shoots prone almost entirely......you can guess how that might make for some arguments :o)... SO I will say at first, we did struggle a bit with the .243 at just sub moa but doggedly kept after it and adopted full brass uniforming and neck turning to get it below 1/2 moa. We even shot some 1/4 moa groups ( all 5 shot ), but actually had most of the groups under 1/2, which we settled for. We figured the difference between 1/2 and 1/4 could be on we the shooters, so called it good. So for our 200 yard zeros, 1/2 moa is still the rule. We are just a couple guys who spend a lot of time trying things that "may " make a differnce....or not. All time well spent for sure. R [/QUOTE]
