[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 22948"] OK first thoughts are this... Try Fed 210 M primers Varget 42 - 46 grns I have a Nor-Cal Nighthawk. It took about 250 rounds to really shoot.. like consistient .2's. I have the 3.5 - 15 X 50 NXS on it.. It likes the 168's ALOT better than the 175's I shoot .2's with the 168's and about .4's with 175's.. it also loves the J4 168 noslers!!! I shot a 15 shot .480 group with them. But the 175's group better at 200 than 100. so I assume they are still pitching and yawing at 100. Next it LIGHTEN THE TRIGGER!!!! mine is at 1 lb. exactly. It is tough to shoot .2's with a t 3-4 lb trigger... Check your bag setup and make sure that your rear swivel stud is not touching the rear bag. I found out the hard way this can drive a man insane!!! Also make sure you return to the same front rest point, make sure everything is level etc. etc. I know that this seems trivial but always start simple... Try this then do what Dave said.. try glass with a higher magnification. If your shoooting factory ammo and getting anything around .5 your doing pretty good!!!! Factory ammo even the match ammo is not very consistient to shoot groups like .2s Hope this helps..... [/QUOTE]
