[QUOTE="bullfrog, post: 1044022, member: 26027"] Shooting 5 shot groups at 100 yards using sinclair heavy front rest and rear bag from a solid bench. I shoot 5 shots in a row without intentionally waiting for the gun to cool between shots. This rifle has a heavy barrel that is barely warm after 5 shots. I do let the gun cool completely between groups. SD is around 10-16. The velocities are pretty much spread evenly thru the ES. In other words, I do not have 8-9 shots that are really consistent with 1-2 outliers that ruin the ES. I even went so far as to weight sort the cases within .1 grain (something I never do). The weight sorted cases made no improvement at all. The Norma brass is already +/-.8 grains without sorting. I have shot this rifle at 1000 yards just to see if the high ES would translate at long range. It did. All of my groups had about 10-12" vertical with about 4" horizontal. [/QUOTE]
