Help a newbie out

I’m having grouping issues with my rifle and I’m not completely sure if it’s me or maybe my rifle.

Here’s the setup:
Daniel defense DD4v7 pro
Eotech 1-10 ffp
Eotech cantilever mount
Magpul bipod
Ammo shot in this case was new republic 556
(Have had same results with a few other brands of ammo)

My grouping is terrible. At 100 yards groups are spread at about 4”, most within 3”.

I do feel like I’m half decent with basic marksmanship and can do better. I’m wondering if maybe the cantilever scope mount is just bad for consistency? Everything was torqued down evenly with a calibrated torque wrench.

Just for proof that I can shoot better (maybe not super great), here’s a target that I shot at 100 yards with the following:

Daniel defense DD5v4
Geissele 2 stage trigger
Leupold mk5 5-25 scope
Leupold scope mount
Atlas bipod

What would you guys suggest to check for me to improve the grouping?

Why would a scope be made with MOA turrets and Mil-Dot reticle

I recently received an older used Sightron SIII series scope. It has [per label] 0.125 MOA adjustments and is configured with a Mil-Dot Reticle. Since the manufacturer produced it this way, I assume there is some valid reason for this configuration.
  1. What is the reasoning for this type of thing?
  2. Are there any good references for getting the most out of this configuration?
Thoughts?

Question for you reloaders on Load Dev

Been working on reloads for a 6.5CM.
First ill say I am still new with a lot of this and this is a hunting rifle. Not a precision rifle or a really super high end rifle either. But one that I do enjoy to shoot and hunt with.

Finally starting to get somewhere with help from one of the members here. Has been a huge help.
But I also have another question.
When you head to the range and start shooting. Do you start out cold. and record those groups.
Or do you run some sighters or foulers through the gun to get some heat in it before shooting groups for recording data?

The reason I ask is the 3 charge groups I shot last night all were somewhat consistant.
But the first group the first shot I made went low and opened the group up.
taking that one shot out the group and mean radius of the group would be much much smaller.
So just got me thinking if I should run this group again to see what it does if the rifle has some heat in it first.
Here is my original target.

Here is the same target with the 1st target shot dropped. Which was the first shot made with the rifle cold.

Right now just trying to get a charge weight found so I can start working on seating depth tests to see if I can get a smaller group.

Top MS -13 leader arrested in Virginia! Seriously, no old lady getting beat up this time .

Hiding in a deep holler under a natural limestone outcrop with food and water .

No that part is a joke - he was in Woodbridge VA just south of DC. Had no reason to hide until now

This is an interesting potential strategy....


Read down to the end of this... and note Alina Habba's statement that "The congress created federal courts, we can defund them."

So if you are a federal judge (or a circuit court) that is passing activist rulings, playing fast and loose with the law, then you could be either dissoved by Congress or de-funded in the budget.

Trial balloon? Serious strategy? This one Obama-appointed judge who suddenly is throwing sand in the vaseline of the will of the American People... might find himself de-funded or his court entirely dissolved!

Note, too, that the Congress is trying to go on an extended Easter Recess... without finishing up Trump appointments. This includes judicial appointments, which need to continue moving forward. More delay, obfuscate and drag out... while trying to act all "We love America."

Checks and balances come in many flavors! And while the Constitution creates a judiciary branch overseen by a Supreme Court, the makeup of that judiciary branch (and the funding of it) is the work of the other two branches! So Executive and Legislative... get your asses in gear and reform the judiciary that has been weaponized for the last 25+ years (arguably the last 60+ or even the last 90 years) against the Constitution, the other branches and the American people.

Tick Tock folks... don't have forever to solve this before the commies go full commie!

Sirhr

PS. Note that she also recognizes that "People are tired of investigations... they want arrests. We need to make arrests. Not just investigate with no consequences. " Yup. This. With no consequences, we have no judicial system. Just a big roadblock that lets some people get away with murder while targeting others for destruction. All in plain sight with no consequences. Time for that to end. At least someone in .Gov is now saying it out loud!

ARC Precision Ultimate Annealer

Im in the market for a whole new precision setup. I've only previously reloaded straight wall pistol on a 650 so this is process I've never had to implement.

An annealer is one piece of the puzzle that I am planning on getting. Particularly the AMP Anneler.

Just saw this being listed on a few reloading vendors.
