I'm sorry Tanner, that wasn't aimed at you. I mean you don't see that many one hole groups posted...period. I don't shoot one hole groups either. That nice round shape means your doing your part and there's nothing inherently wrong with your bedding, crown, etc...

Got out really quickly after school today. Just ran and hung up some gongs, threw the 243 in the bed of the truck and spent a few. Not great by any means, but it was fun.

Shot some at 430 to get the correct dope for that yardage. Here's the 2, moved out after these

Shot some at 500, then it started to get dark. One dropped way low, but I'm almost positive it was just me.

And here's a little video with the impact in the background.

We'll get it worked out. We need to find a new place if they do shut the gate.

After some major dissapointment at 200 yards with the Amax load (improved choke patterns), I switched to the 87 Vmax. Haven't stretched 'er out yet, but I'm thinking this bullet will be skookum.

Looks good! I just picked up two more boxes of 95gr btips. Couldnt believe it when I just looked up the B.C.s between the Btip and 87gr Vmax. .379 vs .400. I was surprised.

here are my 87vmax loads .015 off the lands. the white paper was behind the target bulls. shows up just a bit better. these were shot round robin style. (OCW method)
Point of aim was the first row of 5 bulls.
