Shot it at 600yds yesterday,,
I had put all the info in the berger program and it spit out from 100yd to 600yd zero to go up 10.3 MOA. I turned it up 10 MOA and gave it a try.
First 3 at 600yds
I adjusted it for the wind since i held a MIL left and it hit halfway. Went down 1 MOA and here is the second Group.
Appears i was a lil off on the windage but its in the black.
From 100yd zero to 600yds it only took 9moa up.. Thats pretty flat shooting!!

after 200 rounds and no cleaning, it still likes the load thank goodness.
I reset my Turrets for a 100yd zero and checked them..
First round is high, cold bore shot. Next 5 went in a .21" group
Just a Bipod and no rear rest, cant wait for F-Class the 28th!

Jesus man, a 3in group at 600 yards aint nothing to sniff at. I did notice that you're getting a slight bit of vertical stringing. Is this a compressed load? Do you measure to the tenth of a grain when loading?

Its not close to a compressed load, 36gr H414. I use a RCBS Chargemaster 1050 to throw the powder.
The first three shots i had a 7:30-8oclock wind,, next 3 the wind had changed to around to 4-5oclock. id account a slight bit for that, but id say the most of the spread is from using my fist as the rear rest and not a good bag.
IF the wind is decent im gonna try for 1000yd sightin and group testing with it.
