    Hey guys,
    Here is an update again.
    I got out of the golf addiction today and got to the range with my Blaser 6.5x55 and DT 338 Lapua mag. Trying the mounting method of using rubber rings and V shaped clamp on the barrel for the bulletseeker.

    This method of mounting worked well, but it will not stay in the same position on your barrel after a few shots, so you need to readjust it.
    Bulletseaker will miss 1 shot in every 5 shots which is annoying. I started doing 3 shots for some groups to see if its the movement on the barrel that is making it miss a shot.

    The APP is working well and you have options to see shot information, add a target photo and add notes etc

    My load worked well with no pressure sign and target picture taken at 200M. Zeroed at 100m dropped 14cm.

    DTA 338 Lapua was a bitch to handle today because I'm rusty as after not shooting for such a long time.
    Also when you want to shoot prone, the new concrete pad at the range doesn't work as well as how it used to be (grass patch).
    The bipod prefers the grass rather than concrete to absorb some energy.

    Anyway, Bullet seeker was missing bullets again, 2 out of 5.
    I bet it was because the bipod was jumping too much and it can not stay on the path of bullet travel.
    One of my loads was a bit hot and one shell stuck in the chamber and took a bit of hammering to extract the shell.

    I used 250 grain Lapua scena bullets 95.5 grain AR2225, worked okay before, but not today.

    It was a fun day and I'm happy to be at the range again.

    Have a good weekend guys, daylight savings on this weekend.
