The middle group was first, done off of a cold bore. The last two I was in a hurry, but still not too shabby.
Off of a Harris pod at 100 yds this afternoon.

Re: 2800+ down the tube and still ticking
Very nice.
Request for next trip, fire first shot out of the CCB into the grey circle as a sighter, then stack 5 shots on top of each other into the same hole then scan that group and measure it. I'll bet it shoots < .2
What are the rifle specs?

Great shooting,XTR
but next time try playing with not 1,but 2 cold bore shots before settling on the 5 shot group.i"ve noticed that it can vary from barrel to barrel.
On my small calibers i normally shoot 2 cold bore shots before shooting a string of 5.

If you search under my handle there are some pictures of the rifle in here. It is a Chris Mathews, Longshot Rifles built R700 with a 24" Rock Creek #7, which really isn't that different from a truck axle.
Since I put the rifle pics up I've added a Nightforce 32BR and a Jewel trigger.
This has been my F-TR rig this yr. I rarely ever shoot it except at 1000 yds. I had some rounds left over from a match last month and I was at the range working on hunting loads for my other 308 (groups are not as good
) so I shot some at 100. I actually went and pulled the target after 5 shots and then thought screw it, I don't have enough bullets there to even practice at 1000 so I burned off another couple of groups. I dialed up 2 clicks after the first group (1/4 moa), the last two really were fast groups. I was really more interested in getting 10 chrono results for my 185 load than anything else. I switched to this bullet with very little workup so I really didn't have much data.
I use <span style="font-weight: bold">On Target</span> to do the groups for the graphics.
In case you're interested the load is
185 Berger BT
Winchester brass
CCI #200
44.0 gn Varget
Seated .020 from the lands, and seated very long, over 2.9, no way it fits in a mag.
Avg. MV 2580fps
