Well I was the first person to hit the range all winter. I had to break trail to the berm and clean off the bench but after that, it was all fun. I took 5 rifles today and shot at 100 yards.
22-250
I did not get great groups today with this rifle. 1.25" groups. I shot 3 that were all the same size. I developed this load during the summer months so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe I need to clean the rifle. I am not to worried about this gun, I know it can shoot.

This is the first time since bedding and getting it back from Ruger. The loads that misfired during deer season all went off so I think all is good there. Now to the good part. The first two shots are .25" apart but low and left so I move the scope and got my zero.
Group #1 = .992"
Group #2 = .602"
I guess it likes to be floated and bedded. Now I just need to decide if I want to keep the broken trigger guard or buy a new one.
.338 WM 225 Hornady SP/RL19 74, 74.5, 75 gr/virgin Win brass/Win LR primer
I shot these round robin.
74=2.465"
74.5=2.017"
75=1.409"
I did notice that when trying to adjust the windage on my Minox it went from making nice clicks that I could feel to nothing. I am thinking about calling them to see what is up. The reticle moves but there are no clicks???

87 Sierra bullets with 58gr RL19
Group #1=1.37
Group #2=.786"
I had a hard time keeping zero with this rifle today. One group would be low, one to the left, one high??? I also noticed that I would have to adjust the focus after a few shots to get it clear again. This is also a Minox. It is a 3-15 and this was on 15 power. I will ask them about this when I call about the one on the .338.

This is the first time shooting it since I got a new Timney trigger. Wow is all I can say.
Group #1=.836" (had to get use to the new trigger)
Group #2=.449"
It was so nice to get out and shoot. It was 36 today. All in all, I am happy with the results, but I still have some work to do with the 338WM load and the 25-06 holding zero.
