Measure twice, cut once.

So I went out to the range this morning as it was relatively cool. Surprised how many old guys were there. In any event I wanted to simply confirm my 300 yard dope on my 275 Rigby and my 300HH. Simple enough one would think. Except there was a lot of good bull**** going on. I had dialed 2moa on the 300 HH and then there was another cease fire. Then some mor distraction then back to a hot range. Fired two, what the hell? Then realized I had doubled down on my come ups. Would have been a dandy 5shot group at 300. It’s ok for a 3 shot group.
Fired a 3 shot group at 300 with the 275 Rigby using the 1.5 x 5 Leupold. That rifle just gets too warm too fast. Looks like it’s ready as well.

Don,
Looks like you are set to go.
Just bring a sharp knife.

Pull those two high shots, down with the the rest of the group be a nice 300 yard group. Ballistics x calls it .387

At 300 yds that looks good to me. As for the distraction and more clicks than intended I did something somewhat similar yesterday myself. Was sighting my Sako 308 win with the 125gr AB load and made an adjustment , shot, wasn't quite enough so instead of shooting another shot to make sure I made another adjustment. That shot was well to the right. I knew better but did it anyway. Good reminder to me.
