Thread: 3 shot groups are useless!

As for Tikka's - case in point. Ive had 4 including two 6.5x55s. None of them held zero after 5 shots and groups opened up. I tried shooting FTR with two of them and it was a dismal failure - hint - the FTR bull is quite close to MOA. And you dont have to shoot fast in FTR.

Fair call, horses for courses.

I wouldn't be without mine and love it, the .4 inch group shot with the above load was worked up in 6 shots.

I have since got the same results because a very kind forum member gave me a heap of brass so I wanted to check the load using his brass and yep same result.

Thanks to @Tahr for helping me with my load and I would have shot 20 deer with no escapee's using it.

I have 3 loads that shoot the same poi so swap between them from time to time just to compare damage to animal but I am confident with all 3 loads.
