Sounds like you got lucky and landed on a pretty good node. When you say 1/2", was that a single 3 shot group?[/quote]

I did get lucky, first group (3 shots) out of a cold barrel (gun out of the safe, ran a dry patch down the bore) was about 3/4". Sat the 7mm aside, shot a group with my 308, checked a few things on my cell phone until the barrel was cold and then shot another group with the 7mm, that one was 1/2". Adjusted the scope some, sat it aside and shot the 308, waited for 7mm barrel to get cold, and shot another 3/4" group, then put it away for hunting season. Both guns are Brownings, the 7mm-08 is a old A-Bolt, been with me a long time and is beat up. The 308 is a new X-bolt, nice gun, funny thing is, the old A-bolt, right out of the safe, no fouling shots, it shoots pretty good, the X-Bolt likes a few fouling shots before the groups really tighten up.
