Very confusing way to do an OCW test. I would prefer to use all like targets instead of aiming at numbers. Use a diamond, square, circle, etc for POA. This will give you the same sight picture everytime. Looking at what you have though I would probably go with 44.3 or you could load some from...

Don't worry about the meplats. Most of us won't ever see a difference even when trimmed. It's just not that important. If it was; manufacturers wouldn't produce irregular meplats on MATCH bullets.

Thanks for sharing that. That was a good bit of shooting.

Yep, that's about as straight forward as you can get when it comes to OCW.

You didn't say where your last shot was so, looking at your 2 shots low and right of the shoot-n-c target: You need 1.66mil left windage which is between 16 and 17 clicks for you scope. You need 2.77mil down elevation which is between 27 and 28 clicks for your scope. Those adjustments should...

Your cheek doesn't seem to rest fully on the stock. As gszeto99 stated, you need to wrap your hand around that pistol grip. You are on the side of it with your thumb on the rear. Also, it looks like you are using the tip of your finger on the trigger. Use the pad of your finger. It looks as...

OP, I think your problem here is the ammo. Those Remington Golden bullets are not very consistent and are known to not cycle well in some guns. I have found that my 10/22 likes Winchester bulk ammo but doesn't like Federal. Haven't shot any gold bullets through it yet. But, at 50yds the...

It's not that the barrel has to be free floated. It is better to have it free floated though. You want the barrel to do the same thing everytime you shoot. With it clamped down in a vise like that it has no choice but to do the same thing everytime. If you have a rifle with a flimsy plastic...

From my limited experience, full length sizing and just neck sizing causes no shift in impact if all other variables remain constant. I can FL size and shoot 2 times usually before I have to FL size again. Through all 3 firings the POI is the same. But lately I have stuck with FL sizing...

Have you shot any in the Winchester brass since you noticed this POI drop with the Lapua? If not, I would do so to make sure your zero hasn't changed for some reason.

I get the same thing in my uniflow with varget. I may have to try varget in the Lee measure to see how it works out.

I am glad you guys are having good results. I have one but haven't used it for a long time. I never tried anything other than flake like Titegroup in it. It measured great but flakes kept pouring out the side. I gave up on it.

That should get you by for a while. It would take me at least a year to shoot over 1300 rounds of .308 with 9 lbs of Varget. Chris, I would have picked up that Varget at BPS for that price especially if they were all the same lot. About the same as buying online and paying shipping + hazardous...

As stated above, your BC should be more like .13 At 1220fps my dope is verified 5.8" @100yds and 22.6" @200yds (my zero is also 50yds) First thing is that you can't rely solely on what a ballistics calculator spits out. You have to ensure your zero and then shoot at known distances and record...
