    Hornady lot 3443 avg 2806

    Was feeling rusty and it showed. I normally shoot just fine with recoil. but i haven't done a lot of shooting of late and couldn't keep it together.

    just shows how you need to keep practicing to keep good.

    Will try it on a Harris bipod instead of my backlanz and see if that helps keep the front down a little and will get a dpt baffle brake for on the range and report back in a few weeks.
    Next will be to switch up scopes and add a little more weight that way.

    Overall i am bloody stoked, just wish i could get out and shoot every other weekend like the good old days.

    Also my New Action from Cam at Alpine Precision has arrived so will start a new build when I'm back from the USA.
