Reloading is getting too expensive to shoot ten shot groups at 100. Here is a 3 shot group at 100.

Do you really want to know what I think? 400 yards,....15-20" of bullet drift in a 17mph constant wind from 3 o'clock. What was the focus point? Decent group for 100 yards; but at 400....if that rifle is consistant it's worth some $$$.
15-20...good guess. The wind blew it 13 inches at 400. But yeah this rifle is pretty consistent at 400. My focus point was bullseye. I didn't really care about the wind blowing my bullet away from bullseye. I was just looking for a group. But now I know with a 17 mph wind at 400 yards I have to hold 13 inches for wind.
I am using a Nikon Buckmasters 6-18 power with BDC reticle. I live in the country so I just shoot on private land.
I don't really know how I would do in a copetition. I'm sure guys that shoot in those are pretty dang good. Yeah I shot that group right at 400 yards (rangefound) out of the back of my truck laying prone. After I shot I walked up to my target and could only see what looked like one hole. I was pissed. Then as I got closer I noticed that all 3 shots were touching. I had to take a picture of it. I could never sell this gun. It is one of the things I bought with my signing bonus and it is pretty special to me. There really is no secret to this gun. To be honest, everybody I know that has a pro hunter gets good results like this. My dad just bought one and his shoots better than mine. I honestly think it's the most accurate gun out of the box. Too bad it couldn't be bolt action.
No I don't actually. My groups at 600 really aren't that bad it's just that I am trying to do everything possible to make them smaller. I'm just obsessed with accuracy right now. I'm actually gonna try the berger vld bullets. The BC is higher on those and I hear they are supposed to be better down range. I am using Nosler ballistic tips right now. I want to try a BTHP. Those are supposed to be the most accurate bullets from what I read. Don't get me wrong I am pleased with the way my rifle is shooting I just think you can always be better. That's what makes it fun. There is always somebody out there better than you. I also know that .270s aren't known for their long range shooting but that's what I got for now and I am pleased with it. It's actually just a deer rifle. Another thing, when I shoot my rifle the barrel jumps up so bad, kinda like a pistol would, and after every shot my scope is completely off the target. I have to readjust my gun everytime to look back through the scope at the target. I know that can't be good for accuracy. That's why I am looking for muzzle breaks.
Upgrade your hearing protection if you go to a brake. Seriously. CB
What weight bullets, velocity, and what kind of scope are you using?
