First, thank you fellas. I've not been here in the Hide very long, and only entered into the precision discipline not long ago, but I owe a lot to y'all for sharing your vast experience and knowledge.

Yesterday, I shot my personal-best accuracy; ALL groups under half-minute, and a few under a quarter-minute (tightest was .219moa).

Thanks again guys. Good stuff here:cool:
 
Here's a few of the best ones. I made elevation & windage corrections on the second target

200 Yards
Savage 10 FCP McMillan, factory built/unmodified (aside from bedding the action, no aftermarket hotrod parts)
308 Winchester
190 grain SMK, 40.8 grs Varget, CCI 200s
Lapua brass, 2x fired, neck turned & annealed. Runout under .003
2646 average FPS (SDs are a little high, 30fps. I'd like to get that down some)
107*F, 1990' elevation ASL, 30% humidity, 8-10mph wind

These were done from a concrete bench, at a stationary target, at a known distance. I've got a lot to learn; I get that. The point to the thread is to thank you fellas for helping me increase my skills, both at the loading bench and behind the buttstock.

Thats pretty good shooting.. As others have said, shoot a 5 shot group and you will get more accurate results. From these groups though, it looks like you have some good fundamentals going for you.

I also ran your groups through OnTarget and spit out the accurate group sizes based on the info you have given. Check it out. Its a free program and it will help you catalogue your results and loading data results..
