Thread: An accuracy challenge

284win last weekend. 308 with the tape on it.
I don't consider myself a good enough shot to continue with load development beyond this point. (Both moderate start loads)

0.7MOA group at 600 yards. Load development so only 5 shots, and it was done with a Rem 700

More like 0.1moa or are those squares not 1 "?

Look in the green box...

Ok yeah I don't target shoot but looks like a 0.7inch group to me

Are those squares 7x7”?

The squares represent 1moa

Correct, the squares are 6 inches and the V bull at 600 is 5 inches across

Shit that's a big target, certainly makes groups look impreaively good! I was assuming the "bullet holes" were proportional to an actual bullet.

Good group anyway

It is an electronic representation of a standard mind range fullbore target.

the X (inner ring) is around 0.5 MOA
the 6/V (second ring) is 1.0 MOA

Try put 10 consecutive shots in the middle while dealing with wind and you may change yout mind about it being a big target

This is a big target. These squares are 10 inches square, so still 1 MOA. The arrow isnt my shot, the target detected a hit from an F open shooter next to me, but you can work out the group size from the pic which shows you can keep your good accuracy at long distances.

Didn’t have any paper ones at 100 on my phone. So hope these will do. 750m 300win mag. The smaller group is 2.5” the other is about 4”. The target in the tree was checking zero on a .270 at 425m only 2 shots though.

Just checked my pen. More like 5.5”-6” for the bigger group.

Here's some input on shooting the hunting rifles.

It seems to be a neverending roundabout dance removing Shooter Error, new ones pop up all the time when shooting under pressure (time limit - or limited exposure as in hunting) but at least at this stage I am sufficiently aware so it is fast to peel it off again.

23 seconds to spare is right about where you should be as it gives you time to take fix any minor hiccups that occur.

Let's count a 40 second time budget backwards:
4 seconds: Effect of shot observed, reloaded and ready (36 sec left)
2 seconds: Decision to shoot, execute trigger pull (34 sec left)
4 seconds: Final aim (30 sec left)
6 seconds: Get windcall on scope (24 seconds left)
10 seconds: Observation of wind, ballistic calculation (14 seconds left)
12 seconds: Settle into position, setup rifle (2 seconds left)
2 seconds: React to "start", move to firing position (0 seconds)

The above is the induvidual workstreams/ tasks. As you see it is an awareness of environment and cutting down on wind observation and getting that on the scope that is the major timesaver (Insert advertisement for THLR Hybrid reticle holds ).
There's only so much that can be saved setting the rifle up not including getting range, the trigger work pehaps a second and hardly anything on observation/ reloading.
