[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2550828, member: 14195"] Not as good as I hoped, but room for improvement. After I got the scope zeroed I fired a 5 shot group with the factory Winchester, about 3 inch group. My full length resized Mini-14 reloads with Sierra HPBT 55 grain grouped around 1.5, and with Hornady 50 grain V Max around 1.5. No barrel cooling between shots. Six shots to zero the scope, then 15 shots with no cooling time. Both reloads were loaded with CFE, can't remember the weight from work, but it's just about a grain below max. I printed the wrong target and couldn't really see my aiming point very well, so just a better target will help some. For some reason my printer printed a pale yellow instead of a bright red. And I still get tremors in my neck when I bend down into the rifle. I'm wondering if shooting prone instead of from a bench would help. May try that next time. [/QUOTE]
