Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
I was just trying to tell you that I don't know what I'm doing on a computer as much as a 5th grader. Just like the video that FEENIX posted I didn't know how to get sound out of it. wasn't trying to be smart in any way, just showing every one that I am not that familiar with computers. Hope this clears that up. Good luck hunting and be safe.
I did the same, and I think people not understanding exactly what someone else is trying to say, gets things out of wack.
I didn't take it that way, I was just saying what type of brass that I use and what I have heard about Norma brass, I don't think you even stated what type you were using you may be using Norma brass for all I know. I just try to help people out is all I try to do buy telling them things that I have seen or read just like you were doing or anyone else does, if people don't agree that is perfectly ok with me. My brass was also new, just wanted to pass on a little imfo. on Norma Brass that I have seen.
Not trying to start anything, I am a little gun shy right now, I didn't see anything wrong with this thread, I thought it was **** good information coming from both views, and that is what I like, lots of information so if someone wants to change the way they do something they know why and how. Now in your case, as I said my Norma brass was virgin brass also for my 308 Norma magnum and it has always shot accurate from the second time it was loaded. The first time was just to fire form my cases, the second and every time that they have been loaded since they have shot excellent. I only neck sized them but I don't think that, by you not doing so would keep them from shooting under MOA, something else I think is going on. I would first make sure that my scope bases are tight then the scope. I'm sure you have played around with different powders and charges, if not you could try that. Some guns are also real fussy about the bullet used, I would try different bullets also, I like bullets with high B.C.'s . This can be a nightmare trying to find out what is wrong, Is the rifle bedded good, my last nightmare was with a Remington model 783, 300 win. mag. that I bought in July 2017. I couldn't get my groups under about 1.5"s at 100 yards, took it to the gun shop and the gunsmith put one piece Leupold base ring combos on it, he said I had a lot more clicks to the right then what I did to the left and he said I had a lot of copper build up also. I bought what he said brought his daughters 308's accuracy back. IT's a foam that you spray down the barrel and let it sit over night, barrel down on a towel. I also wire brushed it and cleaned the bore with several different copper removers. Anyhow when I got it back up to my range and got it sighted in again my 3 shot groups were averaging 3/4 to 1 inch groups. I don't know if this model rifle is capable of shooting any smaller groups than that or not. Its a cheap gun I bought to be able to have a carry gun that I can shoot out to 600 yards with, and the scope is only a $100 Bushnell Banner scope. I think with a better scope a better rest I may be able to improve that group a little bit, but it isn't a competition rifle and it will never shoot as good as one. None of these things may be your problem I am just trying to help. Hope you have luck sooner than later finding what is wrong.
