New load work up for hunting rifle
Varget and H-4895 are the two powders I use for 308 Win's, whether short, sub 16" or 30 inch barrels. Factory Remington barrel chopped on my center grip XP-100 (H-4895 with 155 and 172's - Easily sub 1/2" MOA) 155's off of a bipod both times (100 yards and 500 yards on steel). My F-TR Rifle... -

Load development for hunting rifle
I think you are good to go, once you move your group from your top pic to the left. Maybe...1 click down. Once you do your cold bore testing you will know. Yet, for the distances you are shooting, a 1/4" (if that much high) is a nothing burger😁 -

Load development for hunting rifle
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... -
Load development for hunting rifle
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... -
Load development for hunting rifle

Load development for hunting rifle
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... -
Load development for hunting rifle
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... -
Will switching from bi pod to sandbags change point of impact?
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 & Done
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...
