[QUOTE="emn83, post: 617097, member: 41957"] Got impatient and decided to do a little ammo testing at 50 yards. Shot 3 fouling roounds and then 5 rounds for group with Hornady Amax 168gr, Nosler Match Grade 168gr and HSM BTHP (VLD) 168gr. Shot in Circle Pines MN, recorded elevation 909 feet and the range was 65 degrees. I did a quick cleaning 6 swipes with my bore snake between brands of ammo and let the bbl cool. Could have let the bbl cool a little more between groups, a lesson for next time. First group with the Hornady was so bad I threw out the target. Shot the Nosler next, (shot 2.8 inches high, .66 right) and a .9 MOA group (.49 in center to center). Shot the HSM next and the group was like 6 MOA, very disappointed with it, but will try it this spring at 100yds just in case. Did one final group with the Hornady because I've shot the same ammo better in the past. (shot 2.2 inches high, 1.6 inches right) a 1.37 MOA group (.72 inches center to center) All in all an interesting experiment and a fun time. Still need to work on my form as the bi-pod would bounce to the side when I shot. as usual, any advice on what to do better would be welcome time to go clean the rifle, it's been soaking with foaming bore scrubber [/QUOTE]
