I think I got it quite right...

Been testing a load for sometime now.

Shot @ 110 yds., 200 yds. and now gave it a try @ 330 yds.

Here's my gear:

Blaser K95 single shot rifle in 6,5x57R cal.
6x by 42mm. Swarovski scope with a German 4 ret. (thin crosshair covers approx. .87" @ 200 yds.)
RWS brass
Norma 204 Powder
Federal GM210 primers
Nosler 100 grs. BT
Full length RCBS resizing dies

Fired a total of 7 shots (1st not considered)

Here's the result @ 330 yds. (some light wind was present)

6 shots group within 3.7"
4 shots group within 1.26"

I am no expert, but considering I am using out of the box (very light) hunting rifle and a 6 powered scope, I would say I am getting quite good results. :grin:

Should I be happy?

What do you guys think?

Cheers :wink:
 
Nice!
Sounds like you have a good load for your rifle. You should have no problem if you get a 300-350 yd shot opportunity.

Looks like excellent results from a lightweight hunting rifle. Your 1.26" four-shot group at 300 meters is excellent!

With a thin sporter barrel, I rarely shoot more than a 3-shot group. No point. I've never had to take more than a couple of shots on any game. The thin sporter weight barrels seem to start heating up after a few shots and this can throw their accuracy off considerably.

Congrats on putting a nice load together!
