[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 75694"] 5.75 is MOA for 550 yards your shooting just over moa at 550 yards. It depends on what your intending to shoot, if its White Tail deer then I would say you have a mod minute of deer rifle with the 6 inches, the nine would be moe minute of elk deer in respect to kill zone area but the 9 inch would also work for white tails. Seems that the lower of the two velocities net you tighter groups as you expressed 6 inches and I assume the lower velocity was your first group? You can no doubt improve by doing a few simple procedures, bed the rifle, pillar bed it, have the trigger tuned and examine the crown. Try some different powders too the new Retumbo seems to be the king of the hill for the new rums but thats just an observation without any facts. Try some VLD style bullets I can say without a doubt that using Berger's, JLK's or Richard Graves bullets will net you tighter groups instantly. These things should net you a more consistant platform for launching your projectiles. All in all I would be pleased with the 6 inch group and wonder about the 9 inch unless I was soly hunting mule deer or elk. How many times have you produced 6 and 9 inch groups to get a standard. Sometimes one outting may produce this size groups while another may me totally different. Consistancy is something that most always affects accuracy better than most other things. JM2C Dave [/QUOTE]
