Good!

If you have just as a stable field rest (Front and rear support) as your group shooting rest, you are golden! It would irk me too, but I have hunted coyotes, fox, and hogs with a scope (Thermal) that was a 1/2" to 3/4" off to the left. Shots were not over 250 yards, but the target were small...

For the OP, I would not worry about my last post! These guys have to have everything spot on. Now, they have moved to using the Horus reticle almost exclusively, so once they are zeroed, they don't dial at all. The grouping of your rifle in your first post is plenty good for all of the hunting...

I do this if I think something is off with a particular scope. There is also the practice of burnishing or breaking in your the internals of your turrets, by intentionally working them before you ever fire a shot. I learned this from someone who is a sniper and trains other snipers. This was a...

Truth!

If you never kill game beyond 100 yards (Also have a 100 yard zero), just adjust your windage knob LEFT, Assuming .25 MOA per click (Approximately 1/4" movement per click at 100 yards), after you have measured the center of your group to the bull...Guessing around 5-6 clicks left (If 1/4 MOA...

What is your typical max distance for hunting big game? Do you zero your rifles at 100 yards? If so, you may need to come down 1 click (If you have 1/4 MOA turrets). If you are going to use that load for hunting, then adjust your wind turret to the left to where it is centered up. How many...

If you even have a doubt, confirm. If All your shots are going to be close, yet you have uncertainty, confirm it. If you doubt your gun, things never go good

Two and Done… with my doe/fawn antelope tags. On October 1, I went out with two different center-grip bolt action, specialty pistols: Borden Alpine XP, chambered in 6.5-284 (127 grain LRX), McMillan stock and a HS Precision HSP, chambered in 25 Creedmoor (134 grain ELDM), HS Precision stock...

Thanks for the info @Blkram ! At first, I was thinking about the 100 grain TTSX for my 14.5" 250 Savage XP-100. But after considering it more, I think the 80 grain TTSX with Varget will probably be better for me. I won't be killing deer and antelope sized game past 400 yards. With factory...

I have used multiple Douglas Barrels in the past because Rich Bartman of MOA Maximum handguns consistently used Douglas barrels.

Kudos to the owner of Douglas Barrels for taking the bull by the horns. I am not sure who I spoke to in the last couple of years, when I was looking for the WY-SHOT prize table. Whoever I spoke to, gave me the idea that they were working hard to make things better...And It sounds like they...

Wonderful!

This. Everything has a 100 yard zero. Maybe 250 and under, depending on what I am shooting at.

I had a friend come over last week, as he wanted to buy one of my XP's. He is mainly a rimfire fixed distance shooter. I gave him comparisons (Actual loads) from my Shooters App at both 500 yards and 1000 yards of the same cartridges and similar cartridges, using different bullets. Some if it...
