Thread: A question for the sharp shooters..

Well lads problem solved..
prone on the ground to get the spikes in the dirt and a better rear rest, and we have 5 shots into about .7 moa
A bit humbling but good to be sorted..
Lessons learnt are that you can get away with poor rests and technique in lighter recoiling rifles (groups were fine with the same technique in my 22 creed and 6.5 prc) but not in a big magnum.
And to always check the shooter first before tinkering with a load!

Appreciate the input gents

Absolutely STOKED to hear you have it sorted...now go enjoy using it with confidence.

Nice mate was thinking that would be the case.

To help get the nice tight groups with any light weight magnum, before pulling the trigger you need to consider your rest setup and how the rifle is going to react under recoil. I’ve never shot a good group with spikes and found that using them is too inconsistent for my liking.
