Made it to the range!! .338wm/22.-250/6.5Grendel/.223

[wisconsinteacher]

I think I am getting there with a few of these rifles.

.338wm
75gr of RL19 and the 210PT=1.757 with the 3rd shot pulled and I called it at the bench. The first 2 shots measured .670"
75.5gr = 1.760" but the bolt was kind of stiff when I opened it
76=I did not shoot due to 75.5 showing a stiff bolt

22-250
I changed from Win 760 to IMR 4064 and my over all groups are going down
55 V-Max

35.7gr=.643
36.0=.911
36.3=1.153
36.6=.389

I am going to test them all again on the next trip and then focus on the best one.

6.5 Grendel

XBR8208 and 123 Amax

26.0=.722
26.3=.968
26.6=.697

I have shot 26.0 5 times now and the 5 group average is .659 with the smallest of .386 and largest being .809. I think I found my load for the Grendel.

.223=10 shot group with my 4x scope= all 10 rounds in 4"x4'" target=minute of yote!!

Here is my best of the day with the 22-250

Here is my group with the .338 and 75gr of RL19

Your shooting is coming together. Those groups are respectable.

Nice shooting! The 3rd shot, way more often than not, is a killer for me too. If you called it from the bench your getting there.

I am thinking of trying something different. Take 3 clean targets of the same size and shooting one shot at each, then stacking them on top of each other to see the group. I shoot a lot of archery and know that seeing the other arrows in a small group plays tricks on the mind. I often times only shoot one arrow at a time because of this.

 

[OU812]

Why not. Doesn't seem like a bad thing to try at all, makes sense to me.

Nice shooting WT. Seems like that 338 is really coming together. I think you may be on to something with stacking the targets. The 338 Win Mag isn't a baby on the bench, getting it to shoot time groups requires alot of time on the trigger. That rifle will shoot. No doubt.
